Bloomberg today announced that Commercial Bank of Ceylon (ComBank), one of Sri Lanka’s leading banks, has adopted Bloomberg’s Data License to access reliable, high-quality reference data and to streamline their portfolio management. This marks ComBank as the first bank in Sri Lanka to adopt Bloomberg’s Data License to power their growth journey with comprehensive enterprise data.

Additionally, having access to a large database of high-quality data will aid our efforts in automating and improving existing processes.” said Asela Wijesiriwardane, Deputy General Manager Treasury at Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC.
