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. Accordingly, two major enactments i.e.

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.

  • 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

  • Union Bank of Colombo PLC: Rating Reaffirmed September 12, 2019
    Union Bank of Colombo PLC: Rating reaffirmed September 12, 2019 Instrument Rated Amount (LKR Mn) Rating Action Issuer rating N/A [SL]BBB (Stable); Reaffirmed Rating action ICRA Lanka Limited, subsidiary of ICRA Limited, a group company of Moody‟s Investors Service, has reaffirmed the issuer rating of Union Bank of Colombo (UBC or the Bank) at [SL]BBB (pronounced SL triple B). The outlook on the rating is Stable. Rationale The rating reaffirmation takes into account the promoter holding of 70% stake by Culture Finance Holdings Ltd (CFHL), an affiliate of the private equity investor Texas Pacific Group (TPG). TPG has five representatives on the 11-member Board of UBC, and provides managerial support to the senior management team. The rating takes note of the experienced senior management team and adequate risk management systems. Further, the rating factors in the Bank‟s comfortable capital profile with common equity Tier-I (CET-1) of 17.23% as on June 30, 2019 and remains above the minimum regulatory level of 12.50%. Nevertheless, the rating takes note of the regulatory minimum core capital requirement of LKR 20 Bn to be complied by Dec-20. ICRA Lanka envisages that the Bank would need fresh external capital to meet the regulatory minimum core capital requirement of LKR 20 Bn by Dec-20 and expects timely support from TPG by way of exercising the warrants, and infusing capital, when required, to meet the same. The rating factors in the Bank‟s modest size with an asset base of LKR 122 Bn as on June 30, 2019.
