Minister Bimal Rathnayake says Sri Lanka has received one billion US Dollars in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first year of the presidency of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

Minister Rathnayake said agreements were signed with other countries, taking into account several sectors, including economy, education, and culture.

“From last October to today, Sri Lanka has received 1.015 billion US Dollars in FDI. These are not agreements signed or pledged, but funds that have been realized,” he said. 

Minister Rathnayake further said the facts could be cross-checked with the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI). 

He made the remarks while addressing the Parliament today. (Newswire)
