The survey was conducted from 17 July 2026 to 14 August 2026.
This release presents key findings on financial market participants’ overall confidence in the financial system, the sources of perceived risks and the likelihood of such risks. The results of the publication are based on the perception of respondents and should not be interpreted as the views of the CBSL.
