Total remittances from Sri Lankans employed overseas reached USD 6.52 billion between January and October 2025, representing a 20.1% increase compared to the same period last year.
Tourism performance has also shown continued recovery. CBSL figures indicate that tourism earnings for the first nine months of 2025 surpassed USD 2 billion, with total revenue for January to September recorded at USD 2.47 billion.
