Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, specific matters regarding NDB are not directly within this question; we will inquire. On EPF governance: EPF is managed through the Monetary Board’s EPF Management Committee at the Central Bank, with administrative coordination under the Ministry of Labour. We are discussing enhanced governance via the NLAC and with CBSL. Current EPF investment policies include maintaining a neutral position without Board representation even at significant holdings. If policy changes are warranted, we will discuss them.
