  • Assessment of Auction Mechanism
    Additional Financing of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Line of Credit Project (RRP SRI 49273-002) ASSESSMENT OF AUCTION MECHANISM A. Introduction 1. The original project introduced an auction to allocate the funds among the participating banks. The auctions created a framework where banks made a disbursement commitment and incurred a financial penalty if that disbursement was not achieved. 2. The project conducted two auctions. In the first, National Development Bank (NDB) won the entire $12.5 million available. In the second, the funds were evenly divided among three institutions. 3. The project had planned to review the auction mechanism after the second auction, at which time Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government would decide whether to continue with the auction or to introduce a more conventional allocation system. Following this review, the government requested the latter so that more banks could participate. 4. Although appreciating the government’s reasons for requesting the cancellation, the project team was overall pleased with the auction’s performance, and the objective of this appendix is to capture any lessons that could be applied to future auction systems. B. Lessons 1. Dominance by a Subset of Banks 5. The government was correct that the auction limited participation. After NDB won all the funds during the first auction, ADB and the government agreed to cap the amount any bank could win to a third of available funds. 6. Despite these changes, the bidding pattern of the first two auctions suggested that a subset of banks would dominate the auctions. Indeed, the same four banks finished in the top five of both rounds (Table 1).

The decline in profitability is attributed to adverse market conditions brought about largely by the impact of Covid-19 on the economy. Although the Bank’s Net Interest Income increased from Rs. 13,774 Million in 2019 to Rs. 14,872 Million, a 7.98% increase for the 9 months ended 30th September 2020 due to lower interest costs, the net fee-based income (including commission income) decreased by 15.04% from Rs. 3,082 Million in 2019 to Rs. 2,618 Million in 2020 mainly due to Covid-19 induced restrictions on Trade Finance and related activities, as well as lower volumes in bank guarantees. The fees from card related businesses too declined with numerous waivers granted to consumers under relief measures. Other income comprising of net gains from trading activities, fair value changes of financial assets, gains on foreign exchange transactions and other operating income increased by 57.78 % a net gain from Rs. 1,144 Million in 2019 to a net gain of Rs. 1,805 Million in 2020.

  • Fitch Revises Ratings on 11 Sri Lankan Financial Institutions on National Scale Recalibration
    10/16/2020 Fitch Revises Ratings on 11 Sri Lankan Financial Institutions on National Scale Recalibration RATING ACTION COMMENTARY Fitch Revises Ratings on 11 Sri Lankan Financial Institutions on National Scale Recalibration Wed 10 Jun, 2020 - 10:50 AM ET Fitch Ratings - Colombo/Singapore - 10 Jun 2020: Fitch Ratings has revised the National Long- Term Ratings of Sri Lankan financial institutions following the recalibration of the agency's Sri Lankan national rating scale. The recalibration is to reflect changes in the relative creditworthiness among Sri Lankan issuers following Fitch's downgrade of the sovereign rating to 'B-'/Negative from 'B'/Negative on 24 April 2020. Revision ratings are used to modify ratings for reasons that are not related to credit quality in order to reflect changes in the national rating scale. National scale ratings are a risk ranking of issuers in a particular market designed to help local investors differentiate risk. Sri Lanka's national scale ratings are denoted by the unique identifier '(lka)'. Fitch adds this identifier to reflect the unique nature of the Sri Lankan national scale. National scales are not comparable with Fitch's international rating scales or with other countries' national rating scales. For details, see "Fitch Recalibrates Sri Lanka National Rating Scale", dated 28 May 2020, at www.fitchratings.com/site/pr/10124103. The National Ratings of the Sri Lankan banks consider their creditworthiness relative to other issuers in the country. The recalibration of the Sri Lankan National Rating scale has
