ICASL to overview nation's progress

As Sri Lanka begins making massive inroads towards large scale infrastructure and economic development, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) will overview the nation's progress towards the future, through an edifying seminar titled 'Economic Outlook' on July 21 from 5.30 p.m. at the ICASL Auditorium, Colombo 7.

The seminar will be presented by International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Resident Representative in Sri Lanka Dr. Koshy Mathai and will focus on the 2010 Annual Report of the Central Bank where Sri Lanka's economy progress and achievements will be highlighted.

As post war Sri Lanka focuses on improving the once volatile economy, while also implementing large scale infrastructure projects from power plants to highways, the ICASL, in keeping with its role as the national accounting body of the country, has organized this seminar realizing the importance of this topical subject.

Resource person, Dr Mathai took up his posting as IMF Resident Representative for Sri Lanka and Maldives in October 2009. Prior to that, he has worked in numerous countries including the United States, Turkey and Zambia.
