Investment Promotion State Minister Dilum Amunugama said that a committee of experts has been appointed to introduce a stable investment policy and a unified investment law, making Sri Lanka the easiest and most attractive country in the Asian region for investment
Amunugama said this at a meeting held at Hambantota International Port.
In a very short period, various services of the Sri Lanka Board of Investment (BOI) have been made more flexible. A fully-established Investor Facilitation Centre (IFC) at the World Trade Centre, west tower, 27th floor, has been established.

Further, a new marketing communication programme is soon to be launched to attract 100 IT service companies and encourage 50 existing BOI companies to reinvest.
Amunugama also said that many facilities such as the establishment of advisory councils for identified sectors, digitisation of key investor services, modernisation of existing zones to meet international green standards, introduction of a partnership finder database, five-year resident visa programme, etc. have already been implemented.
