We know from history that what happens in the world economy has always had a disproportionate impact on outcomes in the Africa region. Out of necessity, economy after economy is having to consider different, more innovative ways of crowding in the financing that they need. The amount of gigantic and it cannot be solved by only one party that's intra regional trade is seriously inhibited by interconnection. Infrastructure, that infrastructure is very needed and it's one of the critical things we believe we should foster intra regional trade. When you work with 11 EA, 16 banks, you see there's quite, quite some difference between them. And I think what we're trying to do now is look more broadly at the mission of the LA, looking more strategically at what are the market developments, what is actually impacting the market, what's holding back efficiency, sustainable finance is everyone's responsibility. There's a. A massive opportunity to be able to articulate that impact. We welcome the the new obviously arrangement and the purpose is not only to focus on the climate friendly transactions, it's also I mean to promote competitiveness and ensure play level playing field. I really appreciate being here GTR Africa in London. I think it's a great opportunity to highlight the potential that Africa has as a continent, talking about different range of topics from soft commodities to mining and their energy transition. Almost every project that we have funded on the continent of the applicant has come out of conversations and networking that we have to add the GTR. It is one of the best networking for Africa that there is out there. I've been coming to these GTR Africa events for the last 10-12 years now. We see so many stakeholders from the insurance, from the banking, commodity side, all in one place to one day event and every time I'm amazed by getting so many senior stakeholders in one venue. So certainly for us, we always enjoy coming back to GTR London Africa.
