ComBank once again highest-ranked bank in LMD 100

Commercial Bank of Ceylon has once again been confirmed as the highest-ranked bank in the latest edition of the LMD 100 and is the only bank among the Top 10 companies on this prestigious list widely considered as Sri Lanka’s version of the Fortune 500.

The LMD 100 positions Sri Lanka’s largest private sector bank seventh overall in terms of revenue and sixth overall in terms of profit among the largest business groups in the country, proving the bank’s mettle in what the magazine describes as a “watershed year” for Sri Lanka’s listed entities.  

The LMD’s primary ranking is based on turnover but the magazine also ranks companies by sector as well as by total assets, profit after tax, shareholders’ funds, market capitalisation and other performance indicators. Commenting on the bank’s consistent ranking among the top tier of the LMD 100, Commercial Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Sanath Manatunge said, “Customers and investors alike look for unshakeable strength and stability in a bank, especially in times of adversity and change. Commercial Bank’s record in this respect has been exemplary, holding its own among the largest diversified conglomerates in the country for nearly three decades and leading the banking sector on the LMD 100 since the inception of the ranking.”
The LMD 100 ranking encompasses many of the country’s leading conglomerates, telcos, retail giants, insurers and other sector leaders as well as listed banks.
