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

Honorable guests,

Distinguished researchers and professors,

Dear friends and colleagues,

Ladies and gentlemen,

First of all, I would like to assure you that I will not venture giving a lecture in front of such an audience. I am here today more to listen.

That being said, I would like to start by expressing how pleased I am to welcome you in Bank Al-Maghrib and to wish our visitors from abroad a wonderful stay in Morocco.

I would also like to thank all officials for joining us, the distinguished researchers for kindly accepting to speak at the plenary sessions and the mostly-young researchers for coming from different spheres to present their works.
