Top Sri Lankan bankers led by Arjuna in Dubai to whip up investment interest A high level delegation of Sri Lankan bankers led by Arjuna Mahendran has left for Dubai for a series of meetings with bankers and potential investors in a visit that appears to have been kept under wraps, official sources confirmed on Wednesday morning. Unbecoming in an era of vowed transparency and good governance (“Yahapalanaya”) by the new regime, the delegation is in Dubai, in a so-far unpublished visit, to whip up international business interest in Sri Lanka. The delegation is believed to include Central Bank Deputy Governors P.N. Weerasinghe and Ananda Silva, Bank of Ceylon (BOC) Chairman Ronald Perera and general managers of the BOC and National Savings Bank, among others. No details were immediately available. – (Feizal)
