Latest Updates

Sri Lanka’s current account surplus widened to $400 million in the third quarter of 2025 from $291 million in the same period a year earlier. The secondary income surplus surged to $2.051 billion from $1.660 billion, while the primary income deficit narrowed to $536 million from $604 million. These improvements were partially offset by a widening goods deficit, which rose to $1.90 billion from $1.66 billion, and a decline in the services surplus to $789 million from $896 million in Q3 2024.
