摘要：Sri Lanka¡¯s economy grew
by an impressive
7.4 per cent in real terms in
2006, recording the highest
growth since 1978 followed by
a high growth rate of
6 per cent in 2005. This growth
was commendable as it was
achieved in a challenging
environment marked by high
and volatile oil prices, recurring
natural disasters such as floods
and landslides, and renewed
terrorism activities. The per capita
income also rose to
US dollars 1,355 in 2006, from
US dollars 1,197 in 2005. The
expansion was broadbased, with
all sectors of the economy
registering positive growth.
The services sector achieved
the highest growth rate of
8.3 per cent and contributed
63 per cent to the overall growth.
