Arjuna Mahendran: Central Bank of Sri Lanka's 65Th Anniversary
Arjuna Mahendran: Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s 65th anniversary Speech by Mr Arjuna Mahendran, Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, at the commemorating ceremony of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s 65th anniversary, Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Colombo, 28 August 2015. * * * Today is a very important day for all of us. 65 years is not a small period in the life of an institution and first and foremost I must thank all of you who have kept the torch of central banking alive and well in Sri Lanka over the last 65 years. I know most of you haven’t been here for that length of time but certainly those traditions have been passed on to you and you are I think preserving them very well and making sure that they are moving on into the next generations’ hands in good condition. At this point, we should take a step back and look at what we have achieved in those 65 years. First of all, when we were established in 1950, the statute that enabled the establishment of this institution was very clear, in-terms of its objectives and that statute has more or less remained unchanged in that whole period, which I think in Sri Lankan terms is quite a record. There haven’t been significant amendments to the Monetary Law Act in that period and our objectives still remain the same; the control of inflation, the promotion of financial stability and banking sector and financial system stability and the thrust for a broader economic development of the whole country, that in a nutshell is what our objectives are, which is very clear, its unambiguous and it has kept us on the straight and narrow path through some fairly challenging periods. -
