GDP Growth In Sri Lanka

People cross the road going to work in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 31, 2025. A notable driver of growth is household consumption, which contributes approximately 3.1 percentage points to GDP growth in Q3 2024. This increase is attributed to disinflation and recovering real wages, although not yet to pre-crisis levels. The overall GDP growth for 2024 is expected to be around 4.8%, with contributions from various sectors, particularly industry and services. For 2025, GDP growth is forecasted at 5.2%, driven by continued increases in household spending and investment. Consumer spending is expected to grow by approximately 4.5%, supported by favorable inflation trends and government initiatives aimed at increasing disposable incomes.
