About event

In today’s interconnected world, prosperity is no longer measured only by the success of individual institutions or countries; it depends on the strength of partnerships that span borders, sectors, and communities. The theme highlights the essential role of public–private collaboration and regional integration in unlocking shared opportunities, addressing common challenges, and promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

By harnessing collective expertise, resources, and innovation, financial institutions, governments, and development partners can accelerate progress toward resilient economies, climate-smart solutions, and equitable societies. The ADFIAP Annual General Meeting (49th AGM) will serve as a platform to demonstrate how partnerships can transform regional potential into real prosperity—ensuring growth is not only strong but also sustainable and enduring.

Event Host

DFCC Bank PLC

Since 1955, DFCC Bank has been at the centre of Sri Lanka’s economic transformation. Established as the country’s first development finance institution under an Act of Parliament, in collaboration with the World Bank and the Government of Sri Lanka, DFCC Bank was created to empower entrepreneurs, finance industries, and fuel a young nation’s growth.

Over seven decades, that mission has evolved – from building industries to enabling communities, and from funding infrastructure to financing sustainability. Today, DFCC Bank stands as one of Sri Lanka’s most respected financial institutions, combining the strength of development finance with the dynamism of a full-service commercial bank.
