The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE), in collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Sri Lanka (SEC) and the stock broking industry, are conducting an 'Invest Sri Lanka' Investor Forum in Singapore today. Building on the momentum of the successful foreign investor forum held in Colombo during March this year, the initiative aims to further engage with global investors and promote Sri Lanka's capital market as an attractive frontier investment destination.

The forum will bring together high-level government officials, regulators, listed companies, stock broker firms, and international investors to foster connections and promote long-term capital flows into Sri Lanka. The SEC and CSE have invited Prof. Anil J. Fernando, Minister of Labour and Deputy Minister of Economic Development; Dr. P. Nandalal Weerasinghe, Governor, Central Bank of Sri Lanka; Senarath Dissanayake, High Commissioner of Sri Lanka to Singapore; Ruchir Desai, Fund Manager, Asia Frontier Capital Ltd; and Dr. Naveen Gunawardane, Managing Director, LYNEAR Wealth Management, to share their insights, highlighting the country's ongoing economic reforms.

11 major listed companies will be participating in the forum, highlighting the strength of Sri Lanka's listed sector and the broader investment opportunity it represents.
