Economists’ association annual sessions on Oct 19-20
View(s):The annual sessions of the Sri Lanka Economic Association (SLEA) will be held on 19-20 October at the Centre for Banking Studies of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Rajagiriya.
The main theme of the sessions is “Export Growth for Sustained Development”.
“This theme assumes a particular relevance due to the large balance of payments deficit and the heavy dependence of the country on external debt for financing economic development. The proceedings of the sessions will no doubt enhance the knowledge of the public on the state of the economy and create a sense of urgency among policy makers and the practitioners to implement a strategy of rapid export expansion,” according to a SLEA statement.
