Amendments to Directions on Loan-to-Value Ratios for Credit Facilities Granted in Respect of Motor Vehicles

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka issued these Directions on 17 February 2021 to amend loan-to-value ratios for motor vehicle credit facilities provided by Specialized Leasing Companies. The update replaces the previous regulatory provision by establishing an eighty percent loan-to-value ratio for registered vehicles that have been used in Sri Lanka for over one year following initial registration. This amendment applies under Section 34 of the Finance Leasing Act No. 56 of 2000 and mandates immediate implementation by the affected financial institutions.
