Seminar on "Global Economic Developments: Impact on Sri Lanka"
The global economy is once again going through turbulent times. The
possibility of the United States economy suffering another recession is
increasing. The economic outlook of Europe looks grim. Middle East is in
turmoil. All these developments raise many concerns.
Where is the world heading? How would these developments affect Sri
Lanka, specially its export sector? Can we wither this crisis as we did
the financial crisis in 2008? How should we react?
The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce has scheduled a seminar on Friday
September 16 from 2.30 pm onwards at the Chamber auditorium at 50, Navam
Mawatha to get the views of Dr. Razeen Sally, an international expert on
the global economic developments on how it could impact Sri Lanka and
what measures would be required to minimize the negative impact. Dr
Sally is a senior lecturer at the Lee Kuan Yew School, National
University of Singapore (former senior lecturer at London School of
Economics) and Director of the European Centre for International
Political Economy, now Europe's leading trade-policy think-tank.
He received his Phd from the London School of Economics and he has
been a Visiting Professor at the Institut D'Etudes Politiques in Paris,
a Visiting Fellow at the University of Hong Kong and the Australian
National University, and a Director of the Commonwealth Business Council
in London.
He is on the advisory boards of the Institute of Economic Affairs in
London, the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney, and the Cato
Centre for Trade Policy Studies in Washington DC.
