“Great nations rise not by the abundance of their resources, but by the strength, character and independence of their institutions,” he said. “Your fidelity to this principle fortified the very bedrock on which our financial stability rests. It ensured that monetary policy could be anchored in evidence, integrity and long-term national interest. For this, I remain deeply indebted.”
President Nandi-Ndaitwah, in turn, commended the Governor’s steady leadership, particularly during periods of economic uncertainty, acknowledging his role in strengthening monetary policy and financial stability.
