NDB Bank announced its partnership with the Association of Professional Bankers (APB) Sri Lanka for its 35th Anniversary Convention, held recently at Cinnamon Life Waterfront in Colombo.

Organised under the theme “Revitalising Sri Lanka’s Economy and the Role of Banking in Sustainable Recovery and Growth,” this milestone event brought together over 300 leading banking professionals, including CEOs and senior management, to chart a collaborative path for Sri Lanka’s economic revival.

Established in 1988, the APB stands as the premier professional body representing over 2,500 banking professionals across the industry, consistently working to enhance knowledge, foster innovation, and develop leadership in the financial sector. Over the past 35 years, the APB Annual Convention has become the most anticipated forum for industry dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and professional development.

This year’s convention was graced by the presence of Central Bank of Sri Lanka Governor P. Nandalal Weerasinghe, highlighting its national significance. This partnership with the APB resonates strongly with NDB’s mission to drive sustainable growth and empower individuals and businesses. In addition to supporting the event as a strategic partner, NDB Bank Director/CEO Kelum Edirisinghe participated in a panel discussion featuring prominent thought leaders from the financial industry. The panel explored practical strategies and policy frameworks for guiding Sri Lanka’s economy towards long-term resilience. Discussions ranged from innovative digital banking solutions to risk management approaches that balance growth with sustainability.

This collaboration underscores NDB’s commitment to contributing to the transformation of Sri Lanka’s economic landscape, as well as reaffirming the bank’s dedication to nurturing talent and leadership within the banking community. By engaging in events such as the APB’s 35th Anniversary Convention, NDB aims to foster industry-wide synergies, share expertise, and jointly develop forward-looking strategies that will benefit both the banking sector and the broader national economy.

NDB Bank expressed its appreciation to the APB for hosting a remarkable convention, which has once again showcased the collective strength and innovation of Sri Lanka’s banking community.

NDB looks forward to continued collaboration with the APB and other industry partners in its shared vision of driving sustainable growth, uplifting communities, and shaping a more prosperous future for Sri Lanka.
