A Third Publication – From Dependency to Resilience: A Defining Moment for Sri Lanka

I am pleased to share my third publication, “From Dependency to Resilience – A Defining Moment for Sri Lanka,” featured in the 11th Edition of Asia Pacific Business Magazine (May–July 2026).

This contribution examines Sri Lanka’s economic recovery and, more importantly, the structural vulnerabilities that continue to shape the country’s resilience. The article reflects on the need to move beyond temporary stabilization towards deeper structural transformation, particularly in areas such as export diversification, energy security, labour-market reforms and reduced external dependency.

For me, this publication is more than another article. It is part of an ongoing effort to contribute to the conversation on Sri Lanka’s economic transformation, development policy and long-term resilience from a development economics perspective.

I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Ajith D. Perera, Editor-in-Chief / Executive Secretary of APTA CCI, for connecting me with the international journal team and creating this opportunity to share Sri Lanka’s economic perspective with a wider Asia-Pacific audience.

Thank you, Ajith, for the trust, encouragement and valuable connection.

I look forward to continuing to contribute to international discussions on Sri Lanka, development economics, economic resilience and inclusive growth.
