The Sri Lanka Chamber of Small and Medium Industries (SLCSMI) and the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) have jointly announced the National SME Revival Program, a forum dedicated to identifying practical challenges, opportunities, and strategic pathways for the growth and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Sri Lanka.

The program is scheduled for 16 June 2026 from 2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m., at the Auditorium of the National Chamber of Commerce, 450, D. R. Wijewardena Mawatha, Colombo 10. The forum will bring together MSMEs from diverse sectors and regions to engage in substantive dialogue on competitiveness, sustainability, and their contributions to the national economy, both locally and in global markets.

The program will feature two eminent guest speakers who bring deep expertise in economics, business strategy, and financial management: Talal Rafi is an Economist, a former consultant to the Asian Development Bank and the European Union and a former Director at Ernst & Young. Rafi brings extensive international experience in economic policy and development finance, having advised leading multilateral institutions on growth and reform initiatives. Chaaminda Kumarasiri is a Senior Chartered Accountant, Management Consultant, and Business Advisor. Kumarasiri is a distinguished professional with a strong track record in financial management and strategic advisory services for businesses across multiple sectors.

The initiative reflects a shared commitment by both organisations to support Sri Lanka’s SME sector, which forms the backbone of the national economy. Interested participants are encouraged to reach out to +94 762 555707/ 11 4741788 (Nishanthi) or +94 77 4586940 (Gerard).
