The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) is ready to help 94% of depositors of 'The Finance Company', if its licence is cancelled.
The CBSL added that no new investor had come forward to bail out the company.
CBSL officials said that the CBSL was not in a position to pump fresh capital either.
"The total number of depositors at 'The Finance Company' is 145,000 out of which 135, 000 have funds less than Rs. 600,000."
"CBSL can help these 135,000 depositors," CBSL officials added.
However, the CBSL said it is currently waiting until the government proposes a solution with regard to the company.
The CBSL in October issued a notice of cancellation of The Finance Company’s license but has not yet cancelled the license to allow the firm a chance to attract an investor.
In the June quarter The Finance Company posted a 1 billion rupee loss from a 743 million rupee a loss a year earlier, on falling income.
Up to end-June the firm had accumulated 28 billion rupees in losses.
The Finance Company was a part of the Ceylinco group which collapsed following the Golden Key Credit Card Company scandal.CBSL ready to help 94% depositors of 'The Finance Company'
