Aperçu économique et sectoriel
Sri Lanka is a lower-middle-income island economy in South Asia that underwent its worst post-independence economic crisis in 2021–2023, contracting a cumulative 9.5% before rebounding under an IMF Extended Fund Facility program. Real GDP grew 5.0% in 2025 and per-capita income surpassed USD 5,000 for the first time, supported by a broad-based recovery in tourism, apparel exports, agriculture, and services. The Colombo Stock Exchange hosts approximately 289 listed companies across 20 industry groups, with a total market capitalisation of roughly Rs. 8.2 trillion (approximately USD 26 billion) as of early 2026. Key export earners include readymade garments (around USD 4.9 billion in 2025), tourism receipts, tea, and IT-BPO services. The economy remains frontier-market classified, with ongoing IMF-supported fiscal consolidation and debt restructuring underpinning the recovery.

Accès aux courtiers locaux
Foreign investors must establish a Foreign Individual CDS account and an Inward Investment Account (IIA) with a licensed commercial bank before trading on the CSE. Trades are executed through CSE-licensed stockbrokers; several local banks and brokerage firms facilitate remote account opening for non-residents. There is no single-country Sri Lanka ETF listed in the United States as of early 2026; frontier-market ETFs that previously offered Sri Lanka exposure (FM, FRN) have faced closure or declining assets. International brokers offering OTC or ADR access to CSE-listed stocks are limited, as no major Sri Lankan company maintains a sponsored US ADR program. Direct CSE participation via a local broker remains the primary route for foreign investors.

Relocalisation & résidence
Visa d'investissement / programme de résidence
Subventions Residency (renewable; 5-year or 10-year term)
Sri Lanka launched the Golden Paradise Residence Visa Program to attract foreign investment. Under the Individual Investor Category, a minimum investment of USD 100,000 qualifies for a 5-year renewable residence visa, while a USD 200,000 investment qualifies for a 10-year visa (extendable for a further 5 years). Permitted investments include purchase of immovable property, opening a Sri Lankan-registered business, holding at least 10% of a listed company's voting shares, or investing in Sri Lankan government bonds or Central Bank securities with a minimum 5-year maturity. Investors must open an Inward Investment Account (IIA) with a licensed commercial bank. The visa covers the main applicant, spouse, and dependants, with an annual fee of USD 200 per person. The programme does not grant citizenship but provides a renewable residency pathway.
