OSL take:
The expanding economic activities in Sri Lanka have created new business/investment opportunities in key economic sectors, especially in the development sector. The increasing business activities have created the need for new techniques to be applied in the construction industry as well. While the latest developments indicate the overall expansion in economic activities, they also show the need to develop technical expertise as well as the need for the required supplies and equipment. Therefore, the multifold expansion in Sri Lanka presents many business/investment opportunities for foreign businesses/investors. Given the increasing growth and business potential in Sri Lanka, investments in the country would definitely yield quick returns on investments.
