CCC: Aiming for a $134 bn economy in 5 years
View(s):The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce launched a working draft of its 2020-25 Economic Acceleration Framework at the Sri Lanka Economic Summit held this week.
The framework was introduced by chamber chairman Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya during the main keynote session, which focused on re-calibrating Sri Lanka’s economic trajectory.
It states that Sri Lanka is currently at a pivotal juncture where the country’s economic, social, and political trajectory is concerned. The chamber’s framework is a collective aspiration and action plan, which will guide Sri Lanka’s economy from an $89 billion economy, to a $134 billion economy within five years. “This can be done, by consolidating and pivoting on fundamental strengths, including fiscal discipline, macro stability, per capita GDP, global competitiveness index, global market access, Sri Lanka’s strategic location, international relations, quality of life, human development index, global flagships, freedoms, and the country’s resilience,” he said. The working draft of the framework report is now available online, and can be found at seaf.chamber.lk.
