Monday, 5 January 2026 04:24 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The Management Club (TMC) Mount Lavinia will host an executive forum titled “Macroeconomic Signals Shaping Private Sector Credit” on 8 January 2026 at the Cinnamon Grand Colombo, as part of its ongoing initiative to support and strengthen Sri Lanka’s management community.

The session aims to provide corporate leaders with timely insights into how prevailing macroeconomic trends are influencing private sector credit, capital access, and financing decisions in an evolving economic environment. With businesses navigating through changing interest rates, liquidity constraints, and policy adjustments, the forum is designed to help decision makers better understand how credit and capital acquisition dynamics are likely to unfold in the period ahead.

The event will feature a keynote address followed by a panel discussion and an interactive question and answer session, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with senior banking leadership. The resource persons for the session will be Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC Managing Director and CEO Sanath Manatunge and Deputy Manager-Treasury Asela Wijesiriwardane.

According to the TMC Mount Lavinia chapter, the forum is intended to bridge the gap between macroeconomic developments and real world business decision making by translating economic signals into practical perspectives on credit availability and capital access. The session seeks to equip corporate leaders, senior executives of all levels and entrepreneurs to navigate in real time scenarios with a clarity to plan, adapt, and grow sustainably.

The event forms a part of TMC’s broader mandate to promote knowledge sharing, leadership development, and informed dialogue within Sri Lanka’s private sector. Through such initiatives, the Club continues to create platforms that enable meaningful engagement between corporate leaders, policymakers, and financial institutions.

The session is followed by a post-event networking, allowing participants to connect with peers and industry leaders in an informal setting. Limited seats are available and are now open for registration at an investment of Rs. 4500 for Non- TMC members and Rs. 3500 for TMC members including refreshments.
