Major Achievements In 2013
Only Sri Lankan Bank to feature for three consecutive years amongst world’s Top 1000 Banks |
|
The Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC has been ranked among the Top 1000 Banks of the World for a third successive year, becoming the only Sri Lankan bank to achieve this feat. The prestigious ranking published annually by ‘The Banker’ of the UK, has ranked Commercial Bank at No. 983 in 2013, with Tier I capital of US $ 355 Mn. at the end of 2012. The Top 1000 rankings are compiled from a database of over 5,000 banks worldwide and are widely recognised by the global financial community as the definitive guide to bank rankings and analysis. Making it to the Top 1000 list represents, in itself, a strong acknowledgment of the Bank’s standing, and staying in the rankings for three years consecutively speaks much of our consistent performance. A noteworthy feature of the 2013 ranking is the rise to the number one position of Industrial Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), displacing last year’s top ranked banks, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase & Co, which have now taken third and second place respectively, and are followed by HSBC in fourth place. |

‘Best Bank In Sri Lanka’ title for the 15th consecutive year |
|
The Commercial Bank of Ceylon has set yet another record, winning the ‘Best Bank in Sri Lanka’ title for the 15th consecutive year, in an annual ranking published by Global Finance magazine for the past 20 years. The magazine’s list of the 22 ‘Best Emerging Markets Banks in Asia,’ selected after an in-depth survey, is to be published in its May 2013 issue. Among those ranked alongside Commercial Bank in the worldwide Global Finance list are HSBC of Hong Kong, ANZ Group of Australia, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, HDFC Bank in India, Deutsche of Germany, BNP Paribas of France, Barclays UK and Bank of America of USA as winners in their respective regions. Criteria for choosing the winners included growth in assets, profitability, strategic relationships, customer service, competitive pricing, and innovative products. Subjective criteria include the opinions of equity analysts, credit rating analysts, banking consultants and others involved in the industry. The mix of these factors selects leading banks that may not be the largest, the oldest or the most diversified in a given region, but rather the best- the banks with which companies around the world would most likely want to do business. |
