Introduction

Good morning, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

It gives me great pleasure to warmly welcome you to Cape Town, South Africa, for the 13th BCBS-FSI1 high-level meeting for Africa on "Strengthening financial sector supervision and current regulatory priorities".

I would like to thank you for your attendance and wish to emphasise that the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) truly values such interactions which, among other things, facilitate the sharing of each of our views and experiences as well as the establishment and fostering of professional relationships. This can only contribute towards the strengthening of cross-border regulation and supervision through enhanced relationships with our peers and thus contribute towards a safer and more sound global financial system.
