The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) successfully concluded yet another virtual forum organised as part of an awareness drive for island-wide Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

The fourth event of the series, which was held for SMEs in Jaffna, drew a significant interest among the entrepreneurial community based in the region. The series of virtual forums are hosted by CSE with the objective of promoting the advantages of listing as a means of raising funds as opposed to traditional methods available specifically for companies that qualify to list on the Empower Board. The Jaffna forum follows ones organised for SMEs in Matara, Negombo and Anuradhapura over the past two months. Atarah Capital Partners Ltd. Advisory Board Member Jeyavarman joined the discussion with insight on why an SME should list on the Empower Board and Chrissworld Ltd. Managing Director Suraj Surwaweera shared the company’s experience in the listing process.

Atarah Capital Partners Managing Director Rohan Senewiratne added the company’s experience as a sponsor and the sponsor’s role. Colombo Stock Exchange Jaffna Branch Acting Manager S. Sabananthan joined the guest speakers in a Question-and-Answer session which fostered an engaging and open conversation with the participating entrepreneurs.
