As Sri Lanka has managed to brave through what was the worst economic crisis faced in history and moving towards normalcy, the island nation’s financial sector regulator yesterday said that its focus this year would be on achieving a “transformative acceleration” in the growth trajectory.

Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe noted that this is essential to catch-up and enhance the growth potential, as it would also help uplift the debt-carrying capacity of the country.
