Sri Lanka's Economic Boom: CSE Chairman Declares 'Renaissance' Era!

COLOMBO (News 1st); Dilshan Wirasekara, Chairman of the Colombo Stock Exchange has emphasized that the country has moved beyond recovery and is now experiencing a period of robust growth.

"The Sri Lankan economy grew at 5.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and maintained over 5% growth for the entire year," Wirasekara stated. 

"We are at a juncture that we've not seen many times before. It's quite important that the capital market plays its part in this whole process. I would call it a renaissance now, not just a recovery. It's about growth now."

This positive outlook comes as Sri Lanka continues to stabilize and strengthen its economy following years of turmoil and reform. 

The capital market is expected to play a crucial role in sustaining this growth trajectory and supporting the country's economic ambitions.
