Eighteen of the thirty six Registered Finance and Leasing Companies have already been listed on the floor of the Colombo Stock Exchange.

Of the remaining eighteen companies, eleven companies have applied for a listing to the Stock Exchange and it is most likely that they will get the nod.

The remaining seven companies have asked for time extensions for the listings and they have been granted so, top official sources told Daily News Business yesterday.

This is in accordance with the mandatory requirement of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka regulations that all Registered Finance and Leasing Companies should get a Colombo Stock Exchange listing on or before June 30.

These registration details were revealed at a meeting that Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal had with the CEOs of all 36 Registered Finance and Leasing Companies on Friday afternoon.

This is a quarterly meeting the Central Bank Governor has with the Finance and Leasing Companies.
