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. Though the pressure on the exchange rate observed in March - April eased thereafter, with the imposition of restrictions on non- essential imports and selected outward remittances, improved workers’ remittances and the rebound of export earnings, the pressure re-emerged due to relatively low level of Foreign Exchange (FX) inflows together with the gradual relaxations of restrictions and FX repatriations. This situation was further aggravated by the consecutive sovereign rating downgrades by global rating agencies. However, owing to the modest FX interventions and several policy measures taken by the Central Bank, the exchange rate stood at around Rs. 185 by end 2020. The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) CENTRAL BANK OF SRI LANKA | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 recovered from the significant decline it witnessed with the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, to a record high in terms of overall price index. Domestic investors’ preference shifting towards equity investments in a low interest rate regime helped market recovery although foreign outflows continued. Meanwhile, the Central Bank continued to ensure uninterrupted payment and settlement services in the country amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 8.2 Performance of the Banking and continued to expand at a notable pace Sector during 2020 compared to 2019.

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.
