Following the announcement of financial services award winners in Australia and Germany, the IFM Awards also honoured and recognised achievers in the Sri Lankan financial services industry.
The IFM Awards celebrates excellence in its purest form; as an event that recognizes and honours individuals and organisations in the international finance industry that make a significant difference and adds value.
