OSL take:
The development agenda launched by the government of Sri Lanka has created many business/investment opportunities covering almost every sector in the economy. Urban and rural development programmes have taken center stage in the government’s agenda. Therefore, foreign businesses could look at the project pipeline under the country’s development programme and explore opportunities of winning project contracts or become a service and material provider for ongoing projects.
