A test of character
Article Abstract:
Sri Lanka's economy continues to gain strength despite separatist war, drought, and labor unrest. The country's privatization process was resumed in 1996, resulting in high premium sales of two major plantations. The reaffirmation of privatization is drawing foreign investment, and two port and oil refinery projects are underway. Trade agreements with Japan and Korea are also being explored.

CSE also set up the first computerized central depository in the South Asian region. Establishing a credit rating agency remains a priority.
