Sri Lanka plans to achieve $18.2 billion in export revenue by 2025, boosting merchandise exports to $14 billion and service exports to $4.2 billion. Key sectors driving growth include apparel ($5.2 billion), tea ($1.4 billion), and rubber ($1 billion).
Sri Lanka's venture capital market is projected to reach $27.93 million by 2025, with later-stage investments dominating at $17.92 million. Rising local and foreign investor interest is driving innovation and growth in the sector.

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is discussing ways to reduce fuel prices. The current tax on fuel helps repay a USD 3 billion debt from the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. A meeting with financial institutions will explore extending the loan period to lower prices.
Vehicle taxes in Sri Lanka may rise up to 600%, warns the Vehicle Importers Association, advising against advance payments or reservations until imports resume after a five-year halt.
In January 2025, Sri Lanka and China signed 15 agreements to enhance investment and economic cooperation, part of Sri Lanka's strategy to balance relations.
