We reckoned it was our obligation to share in-depth, the story behind NDB’s stellar performance with the market experts and investment advocates that galvanise the growth of the Sri Lankan capital markets. We could not have found a more opportune moment to address the potential investors in the country as our nation itself is at the brink of an era of achievement and exponential growth.”
