The Sri Lankan leg of the Standard Chartered Belt and Road Relay took place at the Arcade, Independence Square recently, where eight staff athletes from the bank’s diverse footprint in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, continued their 90-day journey across the 44 Belt and Road markets. The Standard Chartered Belt and Road Relay highlighted the bank’s continued commitment to Belt and Road, and the positive impact of the initiative to communities and businesses globally. It kicked off in Hong Kong on 17 February, in conjunction with the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, which is one of the biggest sports events in the city with over 74,000 runners, and will end in China on 11 May after the Belt and Road Forum. The Belt and Road initiative is core to Standard Chartered. In 2017, the bank committed additional financing for Belt and Road projects of at least $20 billion by 2020, and was involved in more than 50 Belt and Road deals worth more than $10 billion across a range of products and services – Pix by Ruwan Walpola
