As the economy is currently undergoing a period of challenges, it is important that CBL engages the public on the financial and macroeconomic policy decisions it is embarking upon to create transparency and better public understanding of CBL operations.
The event is expected to bring together representatives of business community, financial sectors, student community, youth group, Government ministries, policy makers and key stakeholders.
