CSE opens four branches

The CSE established its first regional branch office in Matara in 1999, with the aim of expanding the services of the Stock Market throughout the country to service the growing base of domestic investors.

Due to the high level of success of the branch in Matara, the CSE continued to expand the branch network to Kandy (in 2003), Kurunegala (in 2005) and Negombo (in 2007).

Eight Stockbroker firms each are housed at CSE branch offices in Matara, Kandy and Kurunegala, while the CSE Negombo branch houses nine Stockbrokers.
