In an effort to expand the horizon of local banks, non-bank financial institutions and micro finance institutions, a specialized seminar entitled ‘International Investor Perspective on Local Currency Solutions’ is to be held on Tuesday, July 5, 2016 at Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Oak Room Colombo.
The seminar is jointly organised by Netherlands-based The Currency Exchange Fund (TCX), FMO - Entrepreneurial Development Bank, Frontclear and UK-based GuarantCo, together with the local investment bank First Capital Holdings PLC.
