This World Bank Group (WBG) Country Partnership Framework (CPF) supports Sri Lanka’s continued economic recovery and job creation through private sector-led growth. It outlines support for the government’s development agenda, as articulated in national budgets, including an ambitious 7 percent growth target driven by sustained reform momentum, a commitment to pro-poor policies and developing lagging regions, and recovery and reconstruction from the recent cyclone. Leveraging a One WBG approach and centered on private capital mobilization (PCM), the CPF prioritizes engagements to advance critical structural reforms, strengthen ports and energy infrastructure, and accelerate agribusiness and tourism – sectors with strong potential for job creation.  \n2. Three years after an economic and political crisis culminated in a sovereign debt default, Sri Lanka has restored stability, supported by key policy reforms and public debt restructuring, yet macro vulnerabilities remain. Medium- to long-term growth prospects have improved, supported by macro-economic reforms, adherence to the International Monetary Fund’s Extended Fund Facility program, and an improved sovereign rating that is expanding space for private investment. Nonetheless, continued efforts to rebuild fiscal and external buffers remain essential. Poverty is expected to fall to 22.3 percent in 2025 (US$4 .20 PPP), after more than doubling from 11.5 percent in 2019 to 27.5 percent in 2023, and is projected to remain near 20 percent over the medium term. Food insecurity remains high (33 percent nationally) and the labor market has yet to fully recover, with many jobs lost during the crisis not restored.  \n3. The crisis exposed deep-seated structural constraints that continue to weigh on Sri Lanka’s recovery and jobs agenda.
