Sri Lanka Ranked Among World’s Fastest-Improving Economies in IIF 2026 Report

Sri Lanka has been recognized as one of the world’s fastest-improving countries by the Institute of International Finance (IIF), according to the 2026 Investor Relations and Debt Transparency Report.

The report ranks Sri Lanka fourth globally among the fastest-improving nations, reflecting significant progress in strengthening debt transparency and investor relations.

Vietnam secured the top position in the rankings, followed by Belize in second place and Mozambique in third.
