The Sri Lanka Customs in a bid to improve efficiency for its users launched the Digital Signature facility for paperless processing. The move was part of a stepped-up automation transformation at Sri Lanka Customs and improving ease of use, reducing cost and time for the private sector and was implemented successfully.

Similarly, the banking sector too will follow suit to and introduce DS to all its clients and stake holders.

With digital signatures being mandated to the banking sector and other financial institutions, a shift in doing business in an effective, efficient and expeditious way will emerge. It is imperative that many government and private sector organisations, be aligned to face this new challenge, which will assist Sri Lanka to move up in the international ‘Doing Business Index’.
