Organised by The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the two-day Summit will feature senior business leaders, policymakers, and international experts discussing Sri Lanka’s economic priorities and investment prospects.
Held under the theme “Positioning Sri Lanka in a Changing Global Economy: Resilience, Reform, and the Future of Economic Policy,” this year’s Summit focuses on the next stage of Sri Lanka’s economic development – sustaining growth beyond stabilisation, attracting investment, strengthening regional trade links, and developing new sources of economic activity.
The two-day Summit on 12 and 13 October will address issues ranging from economic resilience and regional value chains to healthcare, energy, and the role of digital technology in national development.
Keynote speakers include Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya and Reliance Consumer Products Ltd., Chief Executive Officer T. Krishnakumar, alongside senior representatives from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Standard Chartered Bank, Zydus Lifesciences, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The attendance of the President and Prime Minister over the two days of the Summit adds considerable significance to the Summit, bringing the country’s highest political leadership into discussions on economic reform, investment priorities, and business conditions that will shape Sri Lanka’s growth in the years ahead.
