Alliance Finance Company PLC (AFC), Sri Lanka’s oldest operating non-banking financial institution, celebrated a historic milestone with the official listing of its Social Bond on the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
The market opening ceremony, held on 8th September 2025 at the CSE Trading Floor, underscored AFC’s role as a pioneer in driving sustainable and socially impactful finance in Sri Lanka. With this issuance, AFC becomes the first corporate entity in the country to launch a Social Bond, reaffirming its purpose of “making the world a better place through sustainable finance.”
The bond proceeds will be directed towards projects that generate measurable social benefits, including the promotion of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as well as rural entrepreneurs through value chain financing to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities, further strengthening AFC’s legacy of responsible finance spanning over 69 years.
This landmark initiative reflects AFC’s commitment to aligning business growth with long-term societal value, setting a benchmark in Sri Lanka’s financial sector for purpose-driven capital raising.
