In a ceremony that underscored a steadfast commitment to fiscal transparency and national development, the National Savings Bank officially presented its Annual Report 2025 to Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, Secretary to the Treasury, at the Ministry of Finance.
The document was ceremonially handed over by Dr. Harsha Cabral PC, Chairman, NSB, alongside Rohana Bandara Weerakoon, Acting General Manager/CEO. The occasion marked not merely a statutory formality but a significant milestone, reaffirming the Bank’s dedication to the principles of transparency, accountability, and sound financial governance.
Embodying the institution’s forward-looking vision, the Annual Report 2025 is themed “Empowering Every Journey.” This theme encapsulates NSB’s strategic evolution into a future-ready, digitally empowered financial institution, while preserving the trusted legacy it has cultivated over the past five decades of fostering a robust savings culture across the nation.
As a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s state-owned financial sector, NSB has consistently played a pivotal role in mobilizing savings and directing vital funds toward national priorities. Since its establishment in 1972, the Bank has leveraged its extensive island-wide network to uphold a powerful mandate: promoting financial inclusion and security across every segment of society.
The Annual Report 2025 reflects a narrative of resilience and robust financial performance, building upon the significant momentum of recent years. This trajectory was underscored by an exceptional performance in 2025, with the NSB Group recording an Operating Profit before all Taxes of 59 billion rupees, a testament to the Bank’s sustained growth and strengthened financial position. This is the highest profit ever made by NSB since its inception in 1972. This achievement follows a historic turnaround in 2024, where the Group delivered an Operating Profit before all Taxes exceeding 38 billion rupees, together demonstrating a remarkable trajectory of enhanced operational efficiency and disciplined financial stewardship, all while maintaining a strong and stable deposit base that reinforces its status as the nation’s most trusted savings institution.
