Colombo: The Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s ‘Annual Economic Review 2025’ and ‘Financial Statements and Operations 2025’ reports were presented this morning at the Presidential Secretariat to the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

According to News.LK, the two reports were formally presented to the President by the Governor of the Central Bank, Dr P. Nandalal Weerasinghe. The ‘Annual Economic Review 2025’, the Central Bank’s flagship publication, highlights that the Sri Lankan economy has strengthened progress achieved in previous years. This progress is attributed to the maintenance of macroeconomic stability and the implementation of ongoing policy and structural reforms.

The report further notes that, despite rising global uncertainties from trade and geopolitical developments, as well as adverse weather conditions and natural disasters experienced towards the latter part of 2025, domestic economic activity showed resilience. It emphasises that improved macroeconomic conditions and greater policy stability have enhanced investor confidence, thereby strengthening the economy’s capacity to build buffers to better withstand shocks and paving the way for sustainable economic growth.

The Minister of Labour and Deputy Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Dr Anil Jayantha Fernando, and the Secretary to the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Dr Harshana Sooriyaapperuma, were among those present at the occasion, along with senior officials of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
