A Strategic Logistics Hub

Sri Lanka functions as a hub of connectivity, located at the very epicentre of the Indian Ocean’s East-West trade routes, including the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Bab-El-Mandeb trade route. The famed Strait of Malacca is one of the most significant regional ports handling approximately 60% of the world’s maritime transport, while the Strait of Hormuz is a vital global oil checkpoint.

Known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is home to a rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural landscapes. From pristine beaches along the island’s coast to lush hill country tea estates and high biodiversity forest reserves, Sri Lanka is abundant in natural resources. It also has a long-standing history in gem and spice trading and is known for its exquisite tea blends.

Sri Lanka operates three ports, out of which the Port of Colombo is ranked #1 among the best-performing ports in South Asia and #28 internationally. Additionally, Sri Lanka’s four highly functional international airports provide easy access to top destinations within four hours as well as an ideal transit spot for long-haul flights.

The country’s extensive road networks and newly built highways help transport goods fast and securely across the island, significantly improving trade prospects. According to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the country’s economy is projected to grow by 3.1% by 2027 and 2028, signalling a positive outlook for investors.
