• Initiative aimed at supporting Sri Lanka’s export market

Seylan Bank has renewed its collaboration with the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) for the 3rd consecutive year. 

The agreement was signed on 15 August 2024, at Seylan Bank’s head office, in the presence of senior officials from both organisations. 

Representing leading exporters of all products and service sectors, the NCE’s collaboration enables Seylan Bank to support members of the Chamber. As a result, local enterprises – from large-scale businesses to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) – seeking to grow their exports, expand market share, or add value to their operations are offered a foothold in international markets.

By creating value that addresses the country’s socio-economic challenges and promotes sustainable development, the partnership takes a step towards stabilising the country’s economy and bolstering its resilience, particularly through its empowerment of SME exporters while increasing the country’s foreign income. 

The alliance reaffirms the commitment of both parties to elevating the country’s economic growth and financial services. Working in concert with the National Chamber of Exporters, the goal is to support the development of a functional and thriving future for exporters across a range of industries. 

Seylan Bank Director/CEO Ramesh Jayasekera said: “We at Seylan Bank are delighted to renew our partnership with the National Chamber of Exporters. Since our first collaboration, we have dedicated our collective efforts to bolstering exports. This renewal of our partnership underscores our continued investment in being an enabler and creating an environment where Sri Lanka’s export market has every opportunity to thrive on the international stage. We look forward to another year of collaboration to broaden the range of services available for export-oriented enterprises setting their sights on international markets.”
