DOWNLOAD EBOOKEmpowered Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka’s development policy document, envisions reorienting the country toward a modern and high-value-adding economy that is able to compete in the global market. Expanding the middle class and improving the living standards by creating one million jobs are at the core of the policy. This report seeks to support the realization of that vision by analyzing Sri Lanka’s employment situation and drawing recommendations from the analysis. The report starts with an overview of the labor market in relation to both supply and demand. It then looks at the issues of aging and skills generation. The concluding chapter examines links between labor market trends, informality, and poverty. This study is a co-publication of the Asian Development Bank and the International Labour Organization.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper discusses the report of technical assistance mission to Sri Lanka. The report highlights that Sri Lanka has embarked on a program of reform intended to enable the country to emerge as an internationally competitive middle level economy. The mission concentrated on practical, operational steps that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could take to build capacity to increase the deterrent impact of its enforcement program in the current and anticipated regulatory environments. The mission recommended that the SEC continues to pursue measures to improve efficiency, effectiveness and accountability. In order to augment the impact of the enforcement program, the SEC is encouraged to foster public transparency to the extent possible without compromising confidential enforcement processes and activities. While the recommendations in this report will improve the effectiveness of the SEC’s enforcement program, credible deterrence cannot be achieved without the new civil and administrative enforcement authority in the draft Securities Exchange Act.
