U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission calls on BOI Chairman

U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Doug Sonnek paid a courtesy visit to Board of Investment (BOI) Chairman Raja Edirisuriya this week, where the discussions revolved around the BOI’S efforts to attract foreign direct investment and boost exports, which are critical to Sri Lanka’s economic recovery.

The duo also discussed structural reforms that will make it easier for American businesses to invest here in Sri Lanka.

Moreover, Sonnek highlighted the nearly US $ 240 million in new assistance since June that the United States has provided to Sri Lanka during this crisis and explained how the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation can be a valuable source of financing for established private sector companies operating in investment priority areas of climate change/adaptation, healthcare, information and communications technology, food security and women’s economic empowerment.
