  • Financial Sector Performance and System Stability
    8 FINANCIAL SECTOR PERFORMANCE AND SYSTEM STABILITY 8.1 Overview uring the year 2020, the stability of Sri Lanka’s financial system was preserved amidst challenging domestic and global market conditions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenging economic environment resulting from the pandemic, and regional or countrywide lockdown periods Ddisrupting business activities to a larger extent, the banking sector exhibited moderate growth in terms of loans and advances, investments, and deposit base. However, deterioration in credit quality, sovereign rating downgrades and decreased foreign inflows due to the pandemic, exerted pressure on the banking sector operations. Having identified the importance of reviving adversely affected sectors in the economy, the Central Bank implemented several extraordinary regulatory measures to provide flexibility to Licensed Commercial Banks (LCBs) and Licensed Specialised Banks (LSBs) in supporting businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic. The Licensed Finance Companies (LFCs) and Specialised Leasing Companies (SLCs) sector recorded sluggish performance as reflected by the decline in asset base, loans and advances and deposits as well as increasing Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and declining profitability during the year, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic related growth impediments and the lack of public confidence in some weak LFCs. The Central Bank initiated several regulatory actions along with the introduction of the Financial Sector Consolidation Master Plan to avoid further deterioration of the financial position of LFCs, maintain the stability of the sector and safeguard the interest of depositors. Other sectors in the financial system recorded a mixed performance. Meanwhile, the Central Bank ensured the availability of liquidity in the money market, particularly considering the need for supporting the financial system and facilitating economic activities during the COVID-19 pandemic period by introducing several monetary policy relaxation measures in 2020.
