A 25-member delegation from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) visited India from 2–6 March 2026 to participate in a specialised Training and Capacity-Building Program on “Financial Frontiers – Innovation, Resilience and Internationalisation.”

The program followed an announcement by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Sri Lanka in April 2025, under which India committed to offering 700 customised training slots annually for Sri Lankan professionals.

Conducted by the Government of India at the Reserve Bank Staff College, Chennai, the week-long program equipped central banking officials with contemporary insights into financial innovation, systemic resilience, and currency internationalisation. Combining theoretical frameworks, practical case studies, global experiences, and interactive sessions, the program strengthened strategic understanding and policy readiness.

Participants gained knowledge of emerging technologies impacting central banking, best practices in reserve management, currency internationalisation, payment systems, and fintech regulation, while also benefiting from networking opportunities with peers and experts.

The program contributed to enhancing professional competencies, promoting knowledge exchange, and deepening institutional and government-to-government linkages in the financial sector, reflecting the shared commitment of India and Sri Lanka to capacity building and people-centric economic cooperation.
