📈 По данным Всемирного банка, Шри-Ланка стала ведущей страной в Южной Азии по темпам роста ВВП на душу населения.

⛽ На Шри-Ланке снизили цены на топливо
⛽ На Шри-Ланке снизили цены на топливо С полуночи 29 июня 2026 года государственная нефтяная компания Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) объявила о снижении цен на два наиболее популярных вида топлива. Новые цены: ⛽ Бензин Octane 92 — 414 LKR/л (−20 рупий) 🚛 Обычный дизель — 382 LKR/л (−25 рупий) Без изменений остались: * Premium Petrol 95 — 495 LKR/л * Super Diesel — 478 LKR/л * Керосин — 285 LKR/л Снижение стоимости бензина и дизеля должно немного сократить расходы автомобилистов, а также снизить издержки перевозчиков и бизнеса, зависящего от автомобильной логистики.

📈Шри-Ланка заняла 2е место в Южной Азии по уровню миролюбия (GPI 2026)
📈Шри-Ланка заняла 2е место в Южной Азии по уровню миролюбия (GPI 2026) Общий показатель страны улучшился на 2,3%. Страна занимает 2-е место в Южной Азии по уровню миролюбия и 67-е место в мире. Улучшение было обусловлено главным образом показателями в категории Militarisation (Милитаризация), где индекс улучшился на 6,4%. Особенно заметным стало улучшение по показателю финансирования миротворческих операций ООН (UN peacekeeping funding) — на 40,8%. Категория Safety and Security (Безопасность и защищённость) также улучшилась на 1,8%, чему способствовало снижение на 25% показателя политической нестабильности. Улучшение отражает продолжающуюся политическую стабилизацию после экономического кризиса 2022 года. Снижение инфляционного давления и прогресс экономических реформ помогли уменьшить общественное недовольство. Экономика страны выросла на 5% в 2024 году, при этом инфляция оставалась отрицательной. Эти положительные результаты были дополнительно поддержаны достижением в конце 2024 года соглашения о реструктуризации долга с держателями облигаций. Таблица Южной Азии (GPI 2026) Что это означает для инвесторов и девелоперов Шри-Ланка признана второй самой мирной страной Южной Азии после Бутана. По уровню миролюбия страна находится выше популярных инвестиционных рынков региона, таких как Индия, Бангладеш и Непал. Международные аналитики связывают улучшение рейтинга с завершением острой фазы экономического кризиса, снижением политической нестабильности и успешной реструктуризацией внешнего долга. Для иностранных инвесторов это сильный аргумент в пользу тезиса о том, что Шри-Ланка переходит из стадии кризисного восстановления в стадию устойчивого роста.
