Associate Professor at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, Dr. Razeen Sally, stated that Sri Lanka should benchmark itself with East Asia or the top five states in India and not South Asia when considering its economy.

 

Speaking at the Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2015 held at Cinnamon Grand in Colombo, the renowned economist added that Sri Lanka should think of introducing a new Ministry of Trade and Investment following the general election. Sri Lanka should have an import strategy coupled with an export strategy.

 

Sri Lanka Economic Summit is an annual event organized by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC). The Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2015 will be held today and tomorrow, under the title 'Towards Exports of US$ 50 billion'.
