June 18, 2012 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s economy expanded by a slower 7.9 percent during the first quarter of this year, from the same period a year earlier, dragged down by a fall in farm output, the national statistics office said.

The Indian Ocean Island’s economy has quickened at a rapid pace since Sri Lanka's military crushed a nearly four-decade-long revolt by Tamil Tiger separatist rebels in May 2009 that killed tens of thousands of people, according to UN estimates.
Gross domestic product during the three months to March 2011, was 8.0 percent, the Department of Census and Statistics said.

The main industrial sector, which includes textiles and garments, construction and manufacturing, grew 10.8 percent in the first quarter of 2012, slower than 11.1 percent posted in the same quarter a year earlier.

The services sector, which includes tourism, telecommunications, ports and transport, expanded by 5.8 percent in 2012, over 9.5 percent a year earlier.

The agriculture sector grew by 11.5 percent in the quarter, from a contraction of 4.3 percent in the previous quarter of 2011.

Last Friday, the International Monetary Fund said the island’s economy may slow to 6.75 percent this year, slower than 7.2 percent forecasted by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
The Washington-based fund, however, said economic growth was still a tad higher in the context of global conditions.

John Nelmes, head of a mission to Sri Lanka said economic growth was weak due to tighter domestic conditions and weak external demand.

Nelmes and his team were visiting the island ahead of releasing the final instalment of 400 million dollars of the 2.6 billion dollar bailout package.

He said Colombo wanted more assistance as it emerges from a decades-long civil war, but declined to say how much was being sought.

"We have initiated a discussion of a programme to help Sri Lanka get deeper into a middle-income level country," Nelmes told reporters.

Sri Lanka secured the 2.6 billion dollar bailout in 2009, two months after the military ended the war and the island's foreign reserves had dropped to a dangerously low level of around a billion dollars.

Malika1990 · 4 Growth is better than expected – CB Tue Jun 19, 2012 10:47 am

Central Bank has termed the first quarter economic growth as better than expected, according to a report filed by Reuters.
“It is better than what we expected,” Reuters quoted Central Bank Assistant Governor K.D Ranasinghe as saying.
“For the full year our forecast is 7.2 per cent,” he added.
A Reuters poll of 10 analysts last week had predicted first quarter growth at 7%.
“Industrial sector growth will be sluggish due to the slowdown in Sri Lanka’s exports to Europe, while the service sector might be hit by credit restrictions,” said TKS Securities Head of Research Danushka Samarasinghe was quoted as saying by Reuters.
On Friday, the IMF revised down its forecast for Sri Lanka’s economic growth to 6.75 per cent this year, from an earlier estimate of 7.5% and below the Central Bank target of 7.2%, citing tighter credit and a weaker currency.
Reuters in its report on the GDP said Sri Lanka’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a faster than expected pace in the first quarter of 2012, but tough policy measures and an uncertain global economic outlook threaten the island nation’s full-year growth prospects.
The $59 billion economy expanded by 7.9 per cent year-on-year in the March quarter, slowing from 8.0 per cent in the same quarter last year and an 8.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2011, Government data showed on Monday.
The farm sector jumped a record 11.4 per cent growth year-on-year in the first quarter, from a contraction of 4.3 per cent last year, which officials attributed to favourable weather conditions.
However expansion in the industrial and service sectors, which account for 87 per cent of the GDP calculation, slowed.
The industrial sector expanded at 10.8 per cent from 11.1 per cent a year ago, while the service sector gained 5.8 per cent, its lowest since the last quarter of 2009 and down from a 9.5 per cent.
The island nation’s central bank has raised key policy rates twice since February to more than two-year highs, restricted bank lending, and allowed the rupee to weaken against the dollar in a bid to avert a balance-of-payments crisis.
