For the seventh consecutive year, Sri Lanka’s diversified conglomerate Sunshine Holdings will support the country’s premier economic forum, Economic Summit 2021. 


Hosted annually by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC), the foremost economic event of the country will be held from  December 6 to 7, as a hybrid summit, catering to participants who would join online as well as participate in-person, at Shangri-la Colombo. 


As the Gold sponsor, Sunshine Holdings will play a key role by promoting deliberation and discussion on shaping a turnaround for the Sri Lankan economy whilst delving deep into key areas such as trade, investment and services  that will help drive the cause.


Group Managing Director Vish Govindasamy speaking of the sponsorship said, “Sunshine Holdings takes pride in supporting an event of the calibre of the Sri Lanka Economic Summit, a premier thought leadership forum in the country, which generates the much-needed dialogue on issues, which are critical to springboard the Sri Lankan economy amidst numerous macro challenges. As a responsible entrepreneur, who has shaped Sri Lanka’s economic drive over the last five decades, we extend our fullest support to the Sri Lanka Economic Summit and we look forward to this year’s event with great anticipation.”


In addition to supporting the summit through the Gold sponsorship, Sunshine Holdings will also contribute towards intellectual discourse at the event with Govindasamy participating as Chairman of the CCC at the first session of the event titled ‘Setting the Macro Foundation for Growth’— a high-level panel discussion highlighting Sri Lanka’s key economic challenges such as managing the external debt repayments in the next five years, while focusing on growth.
