In commemoration of the United Nations’ MSME Day 2025, NDB Bank participated in the MSME Business Development Summit and Business Excellence Awards hosted by the Institute of Certified Management Accountants of Sri Lanka (CMA Sri Lanka).

 

Held at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), the event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs to honour and advance the contribution of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sri Lanka, the bank said in a media release.

 

Among the awardees was Sobako (Pvt) Ltd, a valued client of NDB’s Kottawa Branch, who was adjudged one of the Top 10 in Business Excellence under the bank’s own nomination. The recognition not only reflects the entrepreneurial strength of the client but also underscores NDB’s proactive role in identifying, nurturing, and celebrating SME excellence within its portfolio.

 

Representing NDB Bank at this national platform was Nilendra Vithanage, Chief Manager – Zonal Head / Business Banking, who took part in a high-level panel discussion during Technical Session 2 of the summit. Drawing on his expertise in SME finance and business banking, Mr. Vithanage contributed to the discussion on enabling MSME growth through targeted lending, financial rehabilitation, access to export financing, and entrepreneurial development.

 

Speaking on the bank’s role in MSME development, Mr. Vithanage noted: “At NDB, we recognise that MSMEs form the backbone of Sri Lanka’s economy. Through specialised solutions, capacity-building programmes, and partnerships such as this, we continue to empower small business owners with the knowledge, financial access, and digital tools they need to thrive in evolving markets.”
