It was a privilege to join a discussion with the World Bank on Sri Lanka's economic outlook and share sectoral perspectives. The objective of the discussion was to explore the best ways to incorporate private sector input into the preparation of the Sri Lanka Development Update Report. Many valuable insights and viewpoints were exchanged between private sector representatives and World Bank officials in Sri Lanka. Two key points highlighted during the discussion were: *Streamlining the role of the BOI to better facilitate investors, serving as a one-stop solution. *The urgent need for a development bank to support SMEs, particularly through the provision of concessionary financing. One observation I had during the discussion was the presence of some gaps in the understanding of certain issues between World Bank and the private sector. To address this, it is essential to encourage more frequent engagement between the private sector, multilateral institutions, and academia. This will ensure that valuable, practical insights are shared and incorporated into reports published to enable better decision-making within both the government and the private sector. #Economy #Finance #WorldBank
