Sri Lanka - After the State bankruptcy - new and existing opportunities for Austrian companies

  • Colombo, Sri Lanka
The positive development of Sri Lanka's economy in the first half of 2024 will largely continue in the coming quarters. The exchange rate has stabilized, market interest rates have fallen significantly and GDP grew by 5.3% in the first quarter of 2024.
 
In addition, the country has successfully built up its foreign exchange reserves, which now amount to more than USD 5.5 billion or more than three months of import cover, and it has made significant progress in restructuring its external debt.

There were two major positive developments in June 2024: the successful completion of the second IMF program review and the signing of MoUs with Sri Lanka's bilateral creditors.
 
Essentially, despite some hurdles along the way, Sri Lanka has achieved macroeconomic stabilization and has shown promising signs of recovery. 

Due to these positive developments, we are planning a business delegation to Sri Lanka to promote existing projects and find new opportunities for Austrian companies.


The program will be uploaded as soon as possible.
