The National Development Bank
Formed in 1979 as a wholly state-owned institution and subsequently
fully privatised in 1993, the National Development Bank played
a catalytic role in project-based finance in the country and is
today, the largest project lender in Sri Lanka.
Having financed thousands of projects over the years, the Bank
has built up a large and representative customer base through
a network of 13 branches around the island. Start ups as well
as mature projects in virtually every economic sector have received
credit facilities from the Bank.
After its successful transition to a privatised entity in 1993,
the Bank expanded its range of financial products and services
through the formation of subsidiary and associate companies.
The Bank continues to function under its original statute, as
amended, whilst its shares are quoted on the Colombo Stock Exchange.
The NDB Group now offers a range of financial services in addition
to its core project finance business. Few local banks can match
the scope of NDB's financing capabilities.
