The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce yesterday announced conduct of the Sri Lanka Economic Summit (SLES) 2023 from 28 to 29 November at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo.
This year’s summit will be conducted under the theme, “Sustain Reform, Accelerate Growth,” and will explore crucial facets of the Sri Lankan economy and its path towards stability and prosperity.
The Sri Lanka economy has stabilized relative to 2022 with multiple reforms underway and the commencement of the country’s 17th IMF programme. While meeting the structural benchmarks under the programme in the next 4 years will be key in maintaining this stability, how can the country leverage this opportunity to accelerate growth and development in a sustainable manner. With many reforms underway how can we ensure that these reforms are not just limited to a policy document or a committee/taskforce but translates into impactful implementation.
Can Sri Lanka focus on the twin objectives of meeting the IMF programme requirements while pursuing reforms related to land, labour and trade. The Summit will focus on the key policy ingredients that will enhance macro-economic stability as well as ensure opportunities to accelerate growth, led by the private sector.
