Senior Advisor to the President, Basil Rajapaksa was the chief guest at the event. In second place was Commercial Bank of Ceylon, with the bank’s overall strong performance in its operations in both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh being a key factor in acquiring its current ranking.

John Keells Holdings, came in at number three, followed by Ceylon Tobacco Co, Associated Electrical Corporation, Distilleries Co, of Sri Lanka, Hatton National Bank, Aitken Spence & Co, Cargills (Ceylon) Ltd, and Carson Cumberbatch and Sampath Bank (joint 10th place).
