It is indeed a great honour for me to have this opportunity to officiate the launching of this important initiative, the Financial Inclusion Day, on the theme “Broadening the horizons for all”, which is the first one of its kind in this country. We gather here today to reflect on the progress we are making as a country in the financial inclusion space, but we cannot get it right of course if we cannot involve other partners who may be ahead of us in this journey. I am quite pleased that some key role-players in the financial inclusion space at the international and regional level have accepted our invitation and will be addressing us today.
