The year has been eventful and rich in regulatory developments both globally and on the domestic fronts. As the year draws to its close, the time is for reflection on how best to weather through the challenges ahead as we continue to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and adapt to the new economic challenges on the international scene.

We extend our best wishes to you all for a peaceful holiday period and a successful new year.
