Ladies and Gentlemen;
I am delighted to welcome you all to this JP Morgan-hosted event, where we come together to discuss the crucial topic of collaboration to improve the financial sector.
In today's rapidly evolving landscape, collaboration is not just an option but a necessity for driving innovation, fostering growth, and ensuring the sustainable development of the financial industry.
