The Central Bank of Sri Lanka says it is closely monitoring developments at National Development Bank PLC (NDB) following the recent disclosure of an internal fraud, while assuring that customer deposits remain safe.

In a statement issued on April 10, the Central Bank said assessments conducted so far indicate that NDB continues to operate with capital and liquidity levels well above minimum regulatory requirements. It also emphasised that the incident has not impacted customer accounts or deposits, which remain secure.

The regulator further stated that it is maintaining close and continuous engagement with the bank and other relevant stakeholders, and stands ready to take any necessary measures to safeguard the bank’s stability and protect depositors if required.

Earlier, NDB disclosed that an internal fraud involving certain employees had been detected, with the estimated exposure amounting to approximately Rs. 13.2 billion. The bank said customer balances remain unaffected and operations continue without disruption.
