As a country that suffered nearly three decades from terrorism, Sri Lanka has a stronger commitment not to allow the ugly head of terrorism to resurge in the country. Terrorism is supported by the availability of financing through various activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling, extortions etc., through such activities may not exclusively be for terrorism financing. Money laundering promotes such criminal activities as it allows their illegal proceeds to be used to acquire any legal property. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka with a mandate to safeguard the stability of its financial system is committed to ensure that proceeds of no such criminal activity are rooted through its financial system. Sri Lanka is well equipped with a legal framework to fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. When the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering, in its mutual evaluation in 2006, encouraged Sri Lanka to establish a FIU, necessary legislations were already enacted in 2005 and 2006. However, we were ready to introduce necessary amendments to address deficiencies identified through experiences and in order to be compatible with international recommendations on money laundering and terrorist financing.

    Sri Lanka | Banks, Finance and Insurance EQUITY RESEARCH Initiation of coverage 25 July 2014 Sampath Bank PLC (SAMP.N0000) Pawning woes nearing end: Focus on 2015 We expect the overhang on Sampath Bank (SAMP) shares to recede further on the Key statistics easing of concerns regarding its pawning portfolio and its ability to derive growth CSE/Bloomberg tickers SAMP.N0000/SAMP SL from alternative credit lines. SAMP is trimming its pawning portfolio to below 15% Share price (24 July 2014) LKR213 of total loans by 2Q14E (from 25% in December 2012). The significant increase in No. of issued shares (m) 168 customer contact following the near doubling of the number of branches (of which Market cap (USDm) 275 95% are now profitable) should enable SAMP to derive greater revenue growth. We Free float (%) 85% expect 2015E and 2016E to be turnaround years for SAMP, with double-digit credit 52-week range (H/L) LKR218/162 and income growth, and a recovery in ROE.

  • Union Bank of Colombo PLC: Rating Reaffirmed Aug 16, 2021
    Union Bank of Colombo PLC: Rating reaffirmed Aug 16, 2021 Rated Amount Outstanding Amount Instrument Rating Action (LKR Mn) (LKR Mn) [SL]BBB (Stable); Issuer Rating N/A N/A reaffirmed Rating action ICRA Lanka Limited has reaffirmed the Issuer Rating of Union Bank of Colombo PLC (“UBC”/ “the Bank”) at [SL]BBB (pronounced as S L Triple B) with Stable outlook. Rationale The rating reaffirmation takes into account the strategic and financial support received from Texas Pacific Group (TPG) through its affiliate, Cultural Financial Holdings Ltd (CFHL) which held a 70.84% stake as of March 2021. TPG has 3 representatives in the 9-member Board of Directors of the Bank and provides strategic support to the senior management team. Furthermore, ICRA Lanka also considers favourably the Bank’s comfortable capital position, backed by TPG. The Bank continued to maintain comfortable Capital Adequacy Ratios with core capital and total capital adequacy ratio of 15.61% and 15.88%, respectively as in March 2021 (regulatory requirement of 8.00% and 12.00%, respectively). While the rating takes note of the minimum regulatory core capital requirement of LKR 20 Bn to be met by end of CY2022, ICRA Lanka takes comfort from the warrants issued1 to CFHL, maturing in Sep 2022 and which could be exercised to meet the regulatory requirement and expects TPG to provide timely and adequate capital to UBC, if required. However, ICRA Lanka takes cognisance of the Bank’s weak subsidiary; UB Finance Company Limited (Rated [SL] BB/Negative), which operates below the minimum regulatory capital requirement.
