Sri Lanka earned 13.61 billion US dollars in exports during the first nine months of 2026, driven by garments, tea, and rubber products.
The Government of Sri Lanka recorded 13.61 billion US dollars in total export earnings during the first nine months of 2026. This growth supports the country's broader effort to consolidate economic recovery and increase foreign exchange inflows following a severe financial crisis.
Earnings were primarily driven by garments and textiles, tea, rubber-based products, spices, and emerging industrial goods. These sectors saw steady demand from markets across Asia, Europe, and North America. To reduce reliance on these traditional destinations, the government is pursuing new trade agreements and market diversification.
Industry stakeholders expressed cautious optimism that full-year earnings will surpass previous benchmarks. This projection depends on favorable global demand and the minimization of supply chain disruptions.
