The US economy is showing strong growth but the ripple effects of it combined with other political factors such as energy markets is no doubt hitting hard on the developing world.
Sri Lanka too is facing the same challenges but has more to overcome as both external and domestic factors continue to push pressure on growth targets, exports and investments.
