During the period under review, DFCC Bank has continued to record a strong financial performance, reflecting the entity’s growth and stability amid the ongoing economic recovery. Market lending interest rates continued to decline in line with the current accommodative monetary policy stance, with the expectation that credit expansion to the private sector is expected to continue, supported by lower market lending interest rates. The Bank has continued to reduce lending rates in line with the prevailing accommodative monetary policy stance, and consequently, the loan portfolio of the Bank has grown by 10% to LKR 383 Bn as of 30 September 2024.
Further, the Bank issued Sri Lanka’s first ever listed and rated Green Bond, which was significantly oversubscribed during the period under review.
