Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's country context has changed dramatically since the end of the armed conflict in 2009. The Sri Lankan economy grew strongly during 2011 (about 8%), largely due to the post-conflict rebound. Resettlement of internally displaced persons is largely complete. Sri Lanka is now a middle-income country. As a consequence of achieving a middle-income status, Sri Lanka has acquired access to International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) financing as of FY12, allowing for significantly increased financial support from the World Bank during the coming years.
