Ceylon Chamber to hold Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2017 in July

Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2017, organised by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, Sri Lanka’s premier business chamber, will take place on July 25 and 26, 2017, at Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Colombo.

The two-day summit, which will be held under the title ‘Execute – Transform - Realize’, will hold eight thematic sessions, focusing on economic transformation through policy reforms, domestic and global economic headwinds and also how Sri Lanka can adapt to changing scenarios and succeed in a competitive environment.

During the two days, over 40 resource persons, consisting of highprofile cabinet ministers, policymakers, business leaders and academics will take their seats to share insights and also make recommendations on how Sri Lanka can transform its economy to realize its true potential by right execution of plans.

The country’s foremost economic event is held at a moment, where Sri Lanka’s economy is navigating through a period of transformation, amidst global turbulence. Growth has moderated, within a fiscal consolidation effort that promises macroeconomic resilience in the medium term. Hence, executing transformational strategies will be essential to realize the economy’s true potential.

The event is supported by some of the best corporate firms in the country. Accordingly, Sunshine Holdings PLC comes in as the Platinum sponsor, Standard Chartered Bank enters as the Gold sponsor, Fonterra Brands as the Silver sponsor and Dialog Axiata as the telecommunications partner, while Janashakthi Insurance, Prima Group and Nestle Lanka join in as the strategic partners and OMD of Omnicom Media Group as the communications partner.
