The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has released key findings of the SRS conducted for the first half of 2025. 

The SRS quantifies and tracks, market participants’ views on risks to, and their confidence in, the stability of the Sri Lankan financial system. The sampling frame of the survey includes licensed banks, licensed Finance Companies, a Specialised Leasing Company, insurance companies, unit-trust managing companies, margin providers & underwriters, stock-brokering companies, licensed microfinance companies and rating agencies.

A high-level delegation from the Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) visited Sri Lanka during March 2025, to provide critical insights and support for the upcoming Mutual Evaluation (ME) on Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework of Sri Lanka, scheduled to commence in March 2026. The delegation engaged with local authorities to discuss Sri Lanka’s preparedness for this important evaluation.
