SRI LANKA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Sri Lanka continues to experience strong economic growth
following the end of the 26-year conflict with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil
Eelam (LTTE). The government has been pursuing large-scale reconstruction and
development projects in its efforts to spur growth in war-torn and
disadvantaged areas, develop small and medium enterprises and increase
agricultural productivity. The government's high debt payments and bloated
civil service have contributed to historically high budget deficits, but fiscal
consolidation efforts and strong GDP growth in recent years have helped bring
down the government's fiscal deficit. However, low tax revenues are a major
concern. The 2008-09 global financial crisis and recession exposed Sri Lanka''s
economic vulnerabilities and nearly caused a balance of payments crisis. Growth
slowed to 3.5% in 2009. Economic activity rebounded with the end of the war and
an IMF agreement, resulting in two straight years of 8% growth in 2010-11.
Growth moderated to about 6% in 2012. Agriculture slowed due to a drought and
weak global demand affected exports and trade. In early 2012, Sri Lanka floated
the rupee, resulting in a sharp depreciation, and took steps to curb imports. A
large trade deficit remains a concern. Strong remittances from Sri Lankan
workers abroad have helped to offset the trade deficit.
