Sri Lanka’s industrial sector rebounds as economic conditions improve
Sri Lanka is regaining its industrial strength, which weakened during and after the economic crisis in 2022, as reflected in the index that tracks industrial activity.
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded 95.2 points for January 2025, up 6.1 percent from the same month a year earlier, signalling a resurgence in related activities.
Industrial sector activity had been hampered since 2022 due to a foreign currency shortage, which led to stricter import controls.
