This Insight uses regional data to highlight how poorly Sri Lanka is doing in terms of signing Free Trade Agreements (FTA) compared to other Asian countries, despite being a regional pioneer in this area in the early 2000s. The Insight also provides reasons for the ineffectiveness of the trade agreements that Sri Lanka is already party to.
