COLOMBO (News 1st):Export Development Board (EDB) says that despite the global economic difficulties arising from the military conflicts in the Middle East, the country's exports have shown a six percent growth during the first four months of this year compared to 2025.

The Chairman of the Export Development Board Mangala Wijesinghe said that, given this trend, there is a strong possibility of exceeding last year's revenue targets, which already represented the highest export revenue in the country's history.
