The positive outcomes of an uninterrupted stretch of macro-stabilisation are underscored by a stronger-than-forecast recovery of Sri Lanka’s economic output. At this mid-point of the post-crisis recovery, an important question is whether the cyclical recovery can be buttressed by productivity driven growth that comes with technology infusion, infrastructure improvements, or regulatory reforms. For Sri Lanka, the evolving external context of trade tensions, geopolitical shifts, and technological leaps will be testing. The external uncertainties and compulsions should hasten policy focus on the domestic economic agenda but building consensus around deep structural reforms take time. In such a scenario, productivity-enhancing digital solutions that enable more efficient processes can underpin the government’s ambitions to foster economic growth. The Sri Lanka: State of the Economy 2025 examines how the pace of technological change and digital adoption can transform key facets of economic activity under the thematic focus ‘Technology for Change: Driving the Digital Economy’.
