Some of Sri Lanka's most senior bankers came together recently at a networking dinner hosted by Indocean Developers, the promoter of the Altair luxury high-rise development in Colombo 2.

The group comprised of Chairmen, Managing Directors, CEOs and Chief Operating Officers of leading local and international banks. "Five top banks already offer home loans to buyers of Altair apartments, and several others are in discussions with us to do the same," Altair Director Pradeep Moraes said. "The confidence of the banking community in the project is an important consideration to many prospective buyers."
