Sri Lanka’s Colombo Stock Exchange, despite being a reasonably active debt and equity exchange in the region, still has a long way to go in order to become a major contributor to the economic development. Its market capitalisation is currently over Rs. 3 trillion with 297 companies listed on the bourse. Authorities plan to raise the market capitalisation to 50% of GDP when the local GDP goes up to $ 100 billion.
