Regional Development
Provincial Offices
CBSL has established three Regional Offices at Matara, Anuradhapura and Matale with a view to promoting regional economic activities with the assistance of the banking sector. The first Regional Office was opened at Matara in 1981 and the second and third Regional Offices at Anuradhapura and Matale in 1982 and 1985, respectively.
With a view to enhancing the development activities in the Northern Province and Eastern Province, CBSL opened its fourth Provincial office in Jaffna on 04.07.2010 and fifth Provincial office in Trincomalee on 12.11.2010.
With a view to be in line with provincial administration system of the country CBSL recently renamed the Regional Offices to read as provincial offices.
