This vision statement clearly indicates that the Bank is deeply committed to contributing to the prosperity of Sri Lanka. The term prosperity has a wider connotation: amelioration of the quality of life of people through sustainable wealth creation and inclusion of all segments of the society in enjoying the benefits of development. The Central Bank would facilitate this process by ensuring price stability and financial system stability, and provide prudential and pro-active policy recommendations, as the Advisor to the Government on Economic Affairs. In doing so, the Bank would act with the highest degree of integrity and professionalism, earning respect for its objectivity and apolitical stance. It would also display its pro-active stance which is in line with emerging global and domestic developments.
