Lindsay Boulton: Security printing - a central banker's perspective

Welcome address by Mr Lindsay Boulton, Assistant Governor (Business Services) of the Reserve Bank of Australia, to High Security Printing Asia 2017 Conference, Melbourne, 5 December 2017.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

Introduction

Good morning. Welcome to High Security Printing Asia 2017 and, for those who have travelled from overseas, welcome to Melbourne, Australia. I take this opportunity to also acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we are gathered, the people of the Kulin nation, and, on behalf of everyone here, pay my respects to the Kulin elders past, present and emerging.

I am honoured to be presenting the welcoming address this morning, especially as this is the first time that Australia has been the host country in the sixteen-year history of the conference.
