CCC urges fast reforms to translate Budget 2026 into growth

STRESSES WITH POST-CRISIS CONSUMPTION-LED RECOVERY NOW MODERATING, SL MUST CONVERT RECENT FISCAL OVERPERFORMANCE INTO PRODUCTIVE PUBLIC INVESTMENT

- 

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC), Sri Lanka's largest private sector representative, welcomed National Budget 2026, describing it as a blueprint of policy stability, fiscal consolidation and disciplined debt management that continues the trajectory needed for the country's medium-term reform agenda.

"Consistency in policy is critical for sustaining a transformative growth trajectory, underpinned by low inflation, stable interest rates and renewed investor confidence," the CCC said.

It stressed that with the post-crisis consumption-led recovery now moderating, the island nation must convert the recent fiscal overperformance into productive public investment.
