What this dataset contains

Annual economic indicators from ten Sri Lanka Development Updates published between April 2021 and October 2026. The tables cover 2018–2028, including forecasts. Each figure identifies its report, unit and estimate or forecast status.

How it is used here

Compare the October 2026 GDP growth outlook with estimates in earlier reports. Other measures include consumption, investment, trade, government revenue, expenditure, debt and reserves.

What it cannot tell you

Coverage is limited to the selected economic tables. Definitions and historical figures can change between reports. Expenditure estimates and forecasts are labelled separately from reported history.
