The ‘banking engine’ or ‘banker’ was specially designed to deliver a surge of power on the ascent, maintain a steady speed and protect the train carriages or wagons from coming uncoupled and rolling back down the hill. The Bank of Ceylon serves the same role on behalf of our customers and the national economy. We supply, at need, the boost of financial power that drives the nation’s growth and development, and provide the added support to keep Sri Lankans moving smoothly toward their objectives and help prevent them from falling back again. This year, we boosted the purchasing power of the Sri Lankan economy by USD 500 million through a successful bond issue and kept the wheels of commerce turning with loans and advances exceeding LKR 700 billion. Climbing the gradient of growth under full steam, powered by a record trillion-rupee asset base, the skills and experience of our management and the commitment of our people, we achieved a height of over LKR 19 billion in pre-tax profits from banking operations conducted all over the country. Express growth, indeed. Bank of Ceylon. The nation’s engine of growth.
