| The
year under review was a year of consolidation for the company. In spite
of stiff competition and a modest growth in the leasing industry,
the company was able to sustain a steady growth in its core business activities. The focus was to maintain a lease portfolio with a high credit quality combined with timely collection and greater value addition to the customers. Although the country’s GDP growth for the year 2000 was 6% during the year”00, the light monetary policy pursued by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka during the latter half of the year resulted in a steep rise in the domestic interest rates from August ’00. These turbulent market conditions affected the entire financial sector as well as the industry sector resulting in diminishing profitability. Ceylinco Leasing Corporation Ltd., was no exception and was subjected to a very high borrowing cost during the financial year. This resulted in a substantial fall in its profitability. The company took immediate corrective measures through aggressive marketing for an increased level of activity & also introduced fee based activities to manage third party lease portfolios. These measures paved the way for the eventual sustenance of profitability by the end of the year in comparison to the previous year. |
