President Anura Kumara Dissanayake will attend the Sri Lanka Economic and Investment Summit 2025 on December 2nd, during which he will join the Vice Chairperson of The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bingumal Thewarathanthri for an on-stage conversation aligned with the Summit’s theme – ‘Gateway to Growth – Asia’s Emerging Opportunity’.
The conversation is expected to give participants a clearer sense of how the government views the next phase of economic rebuilding, the pressures shaping policy choices, and the path the country hopes to take to restore confidence. It offers businesses and investors the opportunity to hear the President explain the thinking behind policy choices at a moment when investors are looking for clear signals and predictability.
Conceptualised as a Fireside Chat, dialogues such as this play an important role because Sri Lanka’s recovery depends on rebuilding trust. The dialogue aims to offer a window into how the country intends to move forward on investment, trade and overall economic revival. Bringing government leaders, international delegates and the private sector into the same room helps close the gap between policy intention and what businesses experience on the ground.
The Sri Lanka Economic and Investment Summit 2025, organised by The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, will take place on December 2-3 at the Shangri-La Hotel Colombo. This year’s edition has already drawn more than 850 participants and over 100 international delegates, a turnout that reflects growing interest in Sri Lanka’s direction. Registrations for the Summit are now closed.
