Business Overall
the economy in Sri Lanka hasn`t been doing too well since the new Rajapakse Government
has taken over the country in autumn 2005. The Sri Lankan Rupee is
now much less worth and all prices have gone up a lot with an inflation rate of
over 20% in recent years. In addition tourism has also gone down
a lot so the country is creating vast financial losses every month t around $250
million. Most businesses are located in Colombo whilst in towns like
Galle and Kandy supplies can be a problem. Business fees are high
and it is not easy to conduct any business inside the Sri Lankan society. Loads
of patience and a deep understanding for the Sri Lankan mentality can certainly
be very helpful. |
