The Central Bank of Sri Lanka issued broad guidelines to licensed banks on 28 March 2024, to further strengthen the functions of already established Post COVID-19 Revival Units and reformulate such units as Business Revival Units (BRUs).
The enhanced scope of proposed BRUs will facilitate sustainable revival of viable businesses affected by the extraordinary macroeconomic conditions and ensure the proper handling of the increased impaired assets of licensed banks.
The Central Bank sought relevant stakeholder views including the banking industry and the Chamber of Commerce, when formulating these guidelines.
