This book is prepared during a pivotal period in Sri Lanka’s history—one of \nhistoric opportunity but also of daunting challenges. The country is now \nat peace. The peace dividend can be very large. Defense expenditure can \nbe wound back, as it has been in recent years, and the funds so released invested \nin badly needed education, health, infrastructure, and rural development \nprojects. Investors, domestic and foreign alike, can look to the future with greater \noptimism. Intercommunal harmony and trust can be restored. Sri Lanka can \nreenter the regional and international mainstream, politically and commercially. \nMoreover, although global economic growth is sluggish, Sri Lanka is favorably \nlocated in the most dynamic region of the world. India is now the world’s fastest \ngrowing major economy. Growth in the People’s Republic of China is slowing, but \nthe annual increment to its gross domestic product (GDP) is as large as it was a \ndecade ago during the period of hypergrowth. Several medium-sized economies \nof the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) continue to grow strongly
