Boston Consulting Group (India) Ltd. has been retained as consultants by DFCC Bank and NDB to advice the two banks on the proposed amalgamation process.
In a filing to the Colombo Stock Exchange the two banks said no finality has been reached yet on the aspects of consolidation but assured shareholders, employees, regulatory authorities and investing public that they will be informed of the progress as and when necessary.
DFCC and NDB in March announced that they were exploring the possibilities of amalgamation. This was in pursuance to the policies announced by the Government to encourage consolidation in the financial services industry.
The two Boards realising the positives in this model entered into a Memorandum of Understanding.
