Sri Lanka’s ongoing economic activities including its expansion in keeping with the target of positioning the country as an emerging business destination in the South Asian region have opened up many business/investment opportunities in the country. The increasing economic activities also calls for the development of skills and innovation. The latest achievement by Sri Lanka’s MAS Holdings is indicative of the strength, growth and the increasing business opportunities in the country’s private sector. MAS’ achievement is also indicative of the technologically advanced state of Sri Lanka’s private sector. Given Sri Lanka’s geographical positioning in the Indian Ocean and the strong trade ties enjoyed by the country have also helped boost the country’s business/investment opportunities. Therefore, apart from exploring the growing opportunities in Sri Lanka, foreign businesses/investors could also look at forming partnerships or joint ventures with local businesses to expand operations.
