It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here today, to witness the launching of the new strategic plan of the Central Bank of Seychelles.

The 1st of December of this year will mark 40 years of the existence of a central banking institution in our island nation. And today's official launch of our new Strategic Plan for 2019 to 2023, highlights the progress made by the Bank, after standing decades of trials and triumphs.

We have indeed come a long way and witnessed significant evolution in the face of various challenges both locally and on the external front, while striving to remain true to our mandate, which is to contribute towards the sustainable economic growth and development of Seychelles through monetary policy and maintenance of a sound financial system. Guided by a solid set of objectives, we have been able to discharge our responsibilities and make significant strides in achieving our vision.
