Mobitel Inner

The latest report from the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) revealed that the country achieved a record-breaking total export revenue of US$ 16.17 billion in 2024.

 

This marks the highest-ever export earnings in Sri Lanka’s history, surpassing the previous peak of US$ 15.72 billion recorded in 2018.

 

The 2024 figure comprises US$ 12.70 billion from merchandise exports and US$ 3.46 billion from services exports, reflecting a strong performance across key sectors.

 

Provisional data from Sri Lanka Customs indicates that merchandise export earnings for December 2024 amounted to US$ 1,042.5 million, a 4.06% increase compared to December 2023. This growth was driven by higher earnings from Apparel & Textiles, Tea, Rubber-based products, Coconut-based products, Spices & Concentrates, and Food & Beverages.

 

Services exports for December 2024 were estimated at US$ 322.92 million, representing a significant 29.96% increase over the corresponding period in 2023.

 

As a result, total exports for December 2024, including merchandise and services, amounted to US$ 1,365.42 million, reflecting a moderate year-on-year growth of 9.21%.
