Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka’s geographical location on the Indian Ocean’s global shipping route has long provided a strategic advantage. Sri Lanka could be your next export market.
Sri Lanka’s economy is driven by private sector services such as telecommunications, transport, banking and tourism; and export industries including apparel, ceramics, gems and tea. It also is home to a sophisticated software industry. Sri Lanka also is the world’s top cinnamon producer, leader in solid tyres and 10th largest rubber producer. Overseas remittances through employment is a significant foreign exchange contributor.
With the end of civil war hostilities in 2009, investment brought by reconstruction programs has grown in tourism and infrastructure.
