Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has invested in ports, highways, airports, and energy projects to position itself as a regional logistics and maritime hub. Large-scale infrastructure expansion has been supported by foreign borrowing and international partnerships. However, recent economic crises and debt restructuring have constrained new project implementation. Fiscal stabilization, governance reform, and debt sustainability are critical for restoring infrastructure momentum.
