This growth follows a 4.9% positive expansion in the second quarter of 2025, indicating a steady improvement in overall economic performance.
The DCS noted that the 5.4% growth rate in the third quarter reflects continued progress in Sri Lanka’s economic recovery, following the severe economic crisis experienced in previous years. The improved performance suggests increasing stability across key sectors and renewed economic activity.
Economic analysts view the sustained growth momentum as a positive signal for the country’s medium-term recovery prospects, although they emphasize the need for continued policy support to maintain stability and growth.
