00:00Basically look on the geographical nature of Tanzania which is saving a landlocked country about five of them. And Dubai becomes critical in the sense of trade cross borders trading. And CRB opted to open our repo office in Dubai. And basically we are the first bank in East Africa to do so. And the intention is to see how best we can attract more investors link our trade connection between
00:29Tanzania. But also influence investors from both East Africa as well as U.A.E. to invest in Tanzania. But also we are looking about the capital flow. If you look in terms of Tanzania they are quite significant infrastructure projects ongoing. And these demand have investments. So there are some of investors who are interested to invest in Tanzania. But basically they have not been able to get much
00:58information. So CRB in Dubai will be acting as a bridge breaker connecting not on those trade areas. Can you talk about the appetite from some of those investors you say are interested in investing. What sort of the profile of them. Who have you been speaking to in the region. Basically we have quite a lot of them. And not only in Dubai
01:22specifically because we deal with global. The case of IFC Africa. These are the biggest investors we have been working with them. But relatively the information there is quite a limitation of getting enough
01:35merchants. So through our rep office. And I'll take you an example. If you look at the trade in terms of geographic locations Dubai is on the center. And linking all the
01:52business communities globally. And it has become a trading areas. So we have quite significant investors in Tanzania who are importing goods across the globe. And in terms of trade there's been limitations. Especially on the trade
02:12international trade transactions. And we have worked with some of the international organizations. The lack of DFC even here in the United States where they've been able to support the expansions on the SME space. It could have not been possible meeting them. And I think Dubai
02:35to preserve the right opportunity for CRDB to attract more.
