Asian Development Outlook 2009 Update: Sri Lanka

Preliminary estimates indicate that second-quarter growth improved. Economic activity is expected to gradually pick up over the rest of the year to bring full-year expansion to 4.0%, a shortfall from the 4.5% projected in ADO 2009. With strong economic management and an improving global economy, GDP growth is expected to reach 6.0% in 2010 as projected earlier.
