The Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL) has been maintaining a very popular blog among the Sri Lankan exporters, importers, small and medium scale entrepreneurs, academics and scholars who are looking for knowledge on the practical aspects of doing business and developing their entrepreneurship skills.

At present there are about 20 research articles on different subjects on macro-economic policies are published on the blog.
