Good to be back in #SriLanka! Had a great first meeting with President @anuradisanayake about his vision for Sri Lanka. Discussed @WorldBank support to digital economy, rural and skills development, affordable energy, and lagging regions, with a focus on the North of Sri Lanka.

🇱🇰 Inspiring to see Sri Lanka's progress in stabilizing its economy. Good to reconnect with Gov of @CBSL & Min of Finance officials with @MartinRaiser during the #WBGMeetings to discuss ways to maintain this hard-earned stability and continue working towards resilient growth.

As Sri Lanka's economy is recovering, we must focus on jobs and development that benefits all Sri Lankans. We’ll continue working with @IFC_org to support private sector investment & jobs in sectors such as tourism, renewable energy & agri value chains. @riccardopuliti

Had a productive meeting with @CBSL Governor Weerasinghe, Sec Treasury @mahindasiri6, and others in the #SriLanka delegation. We discussed economic recovery focusing on trade, investment, and fiscal stability as vital pillars for future growth.
