The release presents his appointment as part of the bank\u2019s plans to strengthen operations, digital services and support for small and medium-sized enterprises and co-operative-sector customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Akmeemana said his priorities would include sustainable growth, customer service, technology and financial inclusion. These are forward-looking management objectives and do not constitute financial forecasts or independently assessed performance commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDB bank operates as a licensed specialised bank and has historically served co-operative societies, small businesses and retail customers. Current capital, profitability and asset-quality information should be drawn from the bank\u2019s latest audited accounts and regulatory disclosures rather than the appointment announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release does not specify the appointment\u2019s effective date, whether it is subject to Central Bank approval, whom Akmeemana succeeds or whether the board conducted an external selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those details are material to a corporate appointment story and should be confirmed through the Colombo Stock Exchange, the bank\u2019s formal disclosures or the Central Bank where applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supplied portrait is suitable as a file photograph if the sender confirms usage rights. The caption should identify Akmeemana and make clear that the image was supplied by SDB bank or its public-relations representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Colombo Gazette<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SDB bank has appointed Manoj Akmeemana as chief executive officer, placing the career banker in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SDB bank has appointed Manoj Akmeemana as chief executive officer, placing the career banker in charge of the institution\u2019s operations and strategic direction.
