Vallibel Finance has been able to maintain a very healthy level of non-performing loan ratio (NPL) at 2 percent level which is well below the industry average. "Remaining optimistic during a bad economic climate and other socio-economic issues has been one of the key factors that helped the company stay on track," Vallibel Finance Chairman Dhammika Perera said.

"It is during bad times that a country most needs strong financial backing and the company has been very successful in sharing its wealth and knowledge with the public.

Our vision for the company now is to take this wealth to the grassroots level, to those who thus far have not had the privilege of choice when it comes to financial services." he said.

A well-diversified conglomerate in Sri Lanka, Vallibel Holdings has more than 40 associate companies.
