Speaking at the 15th Annual General Meeting of the Sri Lanka –
Australia – New Zealand Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of
Commerce (CCC) held last week the High Commissioner said with the ending
of the conflict, the confidence of Australian investors towards Sri
Lanka was increasing.
She requested the members of the Council to inform the High
Commission of possible opportunities that exist for Australian
businesses and reiterated that the Australian High Commission is keen to
build trade and investment relationships between Sri Lanka and
Australia.
“The Australian economy has recovered relatively quickly from the
slowdown that followed the global financial crisis.
The country economy is now two months into its 20th year of
uninterrupted growth.
This week’s national accounts for the three months ended June reveal
growth of 1.2 percent, it’s the highest in three years,” she said. |
