Sri Lanka will launch its Private-Public Partnership (PPP) Unit, set up through a Cabinet decision, at the upcoming ‘Sri Lanka Investment and Business Conclave 2017’, which will take place from 30 May-1 June in Colombo.

The unit is mandated to source investment from both the national and international private sectors to drive the national economic agenda. This is the best opportunity to launch the unit as the participants at the conclave are the target audience to source investments to Sri Lanka. The new unit comes under the Ministry of Finance and is supported and guided by the World Bank.

The launch of the PPP unit at the upcoming ‘Sri Lanka Investment and Business Conclave’ will be witnessed by over 200 investors and business partners. Among them will be over 100 investors and business partners from more than 20 countries.

Organised by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the ‘Sri Lanka Investment and Business Conclave 2017’ aims to attract much-needed foreign direct investors to Sri Lanka, business partners for exports and also promote tourism in a bid to help propel the nation’s economic growth to greater heights.

The 2017 conclave focuses on bringing in investment to the areas of agriculture, apparel, education, export manufacturing, export services, infrastructure, knowledge services, tourism and leisure, power and energy, telecommunications and related services, ports development, distribution of petroleum-related products such as LPG and LNG and the recycling of waste.
