The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has started to seek the opinion of its members on crucial economic and business issues via an online poll system, launching another medium it will use in the future to engage with its members and other relevant stakeholders.

The latest move has already been launched through the CCC website and will also be promoted to members through the social media platform and also dispatched to the email addresses and mobile phones of the members, thus paving the way for quick feedback on crucial issues affecting businesses.

Accordingly, the Chamber as its first online poll has launched a survey to ascertain the opinion of its members and interested stakeholders on ‘Why Sri Lanka’s exports are declining?’

The ongoing poll forwards six possible reasons that might be causing the downfall of local exports and voters can choose one or more of the given reason which they think are causing the steady slide in local exports during the last one and half decades.

Among the possible reasons given in the poll for this alarming slide in exports are a lack of innovation and new products, limited entry into growing markets, a lack of preferential trade agreements, weak demand in key export markets, a lack of Government support and the rising cost of production.
