OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s manufacturing and export sectors that have shown a steady growth through the years, is now focused on expanding the existing product portfolio while exploring new foreign markets. The many trade agreements as well as trade concessions enjoyed by Sri Lanka have also helped boost the country’s exports in the international market. Sri Lanka has participated in many key international markets and has received good responses from foreign buyers. The government of Sri Lanka has also formulated incentive schemes to attract more investments to the manufacturing and export sectors. The ongoing economic activities and the strength and resilience shown by local businesses in the manufacturing and export sectors amidst challenging economic conditions have attracted the attention of foreign businesses/investors to the country’s manufacturing and export sectors. Given the growth and business potential in Sri Lanka’s manufacturing and export sectors, foreign businesses/investors could confidently explore the expanding opportunities in these sectors. They could also look at forming partnerships or joint ventures with local businesses with the aim of further expansion.
