The Central Bank, at the request of the Union Bank of Colombo PLC (UBC), has granted approval for UBC to cease its operations as a Primary Dealer with effect from May 1.

“The Central Bank wishes to emphasize that the above approval is purely based on a business decision of UBC and it does not affect carrying out any of its activities/services as a licensed commercial bank,” it said.
