NCGI Expands Operations with New Office After Issuing 2,000 Collateral-Free Loan Guarantees in 15 Months
The National Credit Guarantee Institution (NCGI) has expanded its operations with the opening of its new office on the 7th floor of HNB Towers, Colombo, marking a significant milestone in its mission to improve access to finance for Sri Lankan small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
A key highlight of the opening ceremony was the presentation of NCGI’s 2,000th credit guarantee, achieved within just 15 months since commencing operations. Through these guarantees, the institution has helped facilitate more than LKR 14 billion in loans for SMEs across the country, supporting entrepreneurs who face challenges in accessing traditional financing due to limited collateral.
Implemented with the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ministry of Finance, the initiative aims to strengthen entrepreneurship and promote inclusive economic growth by expanding opportunities for businesses to obtain funding. NCGI expects to increase the number of beneficiaries to 4,000 by the end of the year, further strengthening its contribution to Sri Lanka’s SME sector.
NCGI began operations in January 2025 by issuing its first credit guarantee for an agricultural project in the Uva Province. Since then, the highest number of beneficiaries has been recorded from the Western, Southern and Northern Provinces.
The institution has also prioritised inclusive financing, with 20% of total guarantees supporting women-owned businesses, while 24% have been directed towards priority sectors including agriculture, information technology (IT), tourism and exports.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Chathuranga Abeysinghe highlighted the Government’s plans to further strengthen Sri Lanka’s financial ecosystem through initiatives such as establishing a Development Bank and enhancing the cooperative banking sector.
“There was a time when people said that initiatives like this could not be implemented in countries like ours. You have successfully and credibly taken up that challenge. As a Government, we have identified several issues within the financial sector, particularly the need to support entrepreneurship through collateral-free lending. We are pleased with the progress made so far. We now have the opportunity to expand the volume of loans and increase the number of beneficiaries. We believe this institution will continue to strengthen its services and play an even greater role in the future,” he said.
With its expanded presence and growing portfolio of credit guarantees, NCGI continues to play a key role in improving financial inclusion and enabling more Sri Lankan entrepreneurs to access the capital needed to grow their businesses.
