The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce will be organizing the 20th Sri Lanka Economic Summit (SLES) on December 1-2, at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo.
The Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2020, the premier economic forum, this year too will have a lineup of timely plenary discussions under the theme ‘Roadmap for Take-Off: Driving a People-Centric Economic Revival’.
The private sector has often been labelled as the engine of economic growth though this has not been the case consistently due to numerous factors. Industry specialists will come together for a dialogue on how COVID-19 will impact the private sector’s role in driving growth and how will they build business models that are resilient, profitable and sustainable.
The discussion will explore how Sri Lanka’s private sector can be competitive and agile locally and globally in response to COVID-19 and how firms can aim to create new job opportunities as part of the economic recovery.
The presenters at this plenary will include Harsha Basnayake Deputy Area Managing Partner, EY Asia-Pacific and Prabhash Subasinghe Chairman, Sri Lanka Export Development Board.
Thereafter the presenters will be joined by Pravir Samarasinghe Group Director and Chief Executive Officer Overseas Realty (Ceylon) PLC, Hajar Alafifi Chairperson, Unilever Sri Lanka Ltd, Sanjaya Mohottala Director General, Board of Investment Sri Lanka for a panel discussion moderated by Kasturi Chellaraja Wilson, Group CEO, Hemas Holdings PLC.
This will be the 20th consecutive year the Chamber is organizing the country’s foremost economic event.
