What happened to our deposits?

The depositors of the Eyon Lanka Investment and Film Production International Company (Pvt) Limited today made a protest march to the President Secretariat demanding government takes action against the company owners to settle the depositors in full. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has already issued freezing orders prohibiting the company from soliciting and mobilizing deposits or any funds in any other form, disposing of or alienating assets, or entering into any transaction in relation to any account, property or investment. The above company was ordered not to accept further deposits by issuing promissory notes or in any other manner, and not to carry on financing business, the CBSL notice said.
