As sponsor of the prestigious Commonwealth Business Forum, Commercial Bank also had a stall at this forum to provide information to investors, delegates and banking professionals from around the world on its activities and the role it plays in enhancing access and economic resilience through its support to business in Sri Lanka. A large and representative group of delegates visited the stall and interacted with officials of the bank.
