The President said that an Economic Commission will be created to carry forward business activities more smoothly. “In addition a new institution named “Enterprise Sri Lanka” will be established to strengthen small and medium scale entrepreneurs.”

Wickremesinghe said “In the transformation towards an export economy, the production economy has a major place. We are discussing establishing a development bank to provide the necessary funds for entrepreneurs. In 1960 we had DFCC Bank and in 1980, NDB Bank was established. After privatization, both these banks have become major commercial banks in our country. Especially if these banks did not exist then, President Premadasa’s 200 Garment Factories program would not have been successful. Therefore, we expect to start a new bank.” the President said.

International industrial entrepreneurs representing various countries as well as local large-scale and medium-scale industrialists are participating in this.
