A sannasa of a different sort......:

NSB annual report declares independence...

The National Savings Bank presented their latest annual report to President Mahinda Rajapaksa recently.

Its design recalls a sannasa, a medieval court document in a special container, often used to commemorate victory in battle. The theme of the report celebrates the courage and resilience of the Sri Lankan people down the ages.

It reflects the NSB’s firm, independent stance in a world of economic turmoil and its promise to free and shelter its customers from the effects of international financial crises.

Standing surety and offering support to 15 million account holders around the country at this time of special need, the NSB declares that it would ‘lead from the front, providing security and inspiration to all Sri Lankans to meet the challenges as well as seize the opportunities of the current moment.’

GM and CEO of NSB Sunil Perera presented the annual report to President Mahinda Rajapaksa while Minister of State Revenue and Finance and Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning Ranjith Siyambalapitiya, NSB Chairman S.R. Attygalle, NSB Director M.K.B. Dissanayake, Additional General Manager H.M. Hennayake Bandara and Senior DGM Dhammika Perera were also present.
