Overview
Sri Lanka's gdp stood at $99.0B in 2024, a rise of +$15.2B from 2023. Sri Lanka ranked 131st globally.
Sri Lanka’s GDP reached 98,963,185,509.65 in 2024, marking its highest level on record and ranking the economy 131st globally. This latest value reflects substantial growth from a low of 1,240,672,268.91 recorded in 1963, the trough year amid post-independence economic adjustments. Over a 65-year period, the economy expanded more than 79-fold in nominal terms, though progress has been uneven, punctuated by periods of political instability, civil conflict, and external shocks. In regional comparison, Sri Lanka’s output slightly exceeds that of Costa Rica, which recorded a GDP of 95,350,423,176.60 in the same year, while falling short of Angola’s 100,998,916,781.08. Despite the 2024 peak, the trajectory remains fragile following a severe economic crisis in 2022 that triggered currency depreciation, inflation, and debt default. Future growth will depend on structural reforms, effective debt restructuring, and improved governance to restore investor confidence and stabilize macroeconomic conditions.
