Improving Doing Business Environment: A must for sustainable Good Governance-2015

Category: Economic Flash Published on Tuesday, 17 February 2015 13:23

Sri Lanka’s ranking in the World Bank’s Doing Business Index (DBI) 2015 has improved to 99 (out of 189 countries) from 105 last year. While this seems a positive development, there are certainly no grounds for complacency. The country’s ranking has been oscillating in recent years. In addition, the improvement attained in the latest ranking is based on better performance on only two of the ten indicators contained in the DBI.

Relief Delivered: Fiscal Sustainability in Question.

Category: Economic Alert Published on Friday, 06 February 2015 09:48

The Pathfinder Foundation (PF) has been consistent in its call for prudent fiscal management and market oriented policies. In Economic Alert no: 67 titled ‘The Election Manifestos: An Auction of Non-existent Resources and Beyond’, it highlighted the populist nature of the manifestos of the two main candidates and the need for fiscal discipline. The subsequent Economic Flash 57 titled ‘Economics of the 100 day program: Word of Caution on Populist Measures’ developed upon the same theme. This piece seeks to assess the Interim Budget presented by the new government last week, from both a short and medium-term macroeconomic perspective.

Sino-Lankan Economic Relations: A Dynamic and Forward Looking Perspective

Category: Economic Flash Published on Tuesday, 27 January 2015 08:31

Can there be a great leap forward for Sri Lanka?

A previous Pathfinder Foundation (PF) Economic Alert (64) argued that the Sino-Lanka FTA
has the potential to be the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ in the bilateral economic relationship. It can
have a transformative impact not just on market access for Sri Lanka’s exports to China but
also on inward investment and technology transfer. Internal trends within China also
reinforce the prospects for an encouraging future in the bilateral economic relationship.
Furthermore, China’s Maritime Silk Road initiative provides a framework for a multifaceted
strengthening of the partnership. High priority should be attached to taking advantage of the
existing close bilateral Sino-Lanka relationship to shape the economic links between the two
countries to serve Sri Lanka’s development priorities. It is important to elaborate briefly on
these themes.
