Abstract

This chapter examines the influence of an outward-oriented trade regime on Sri Lanka’s manufactured export growth since 1977. It also analyses the pattern of exports, relevant to examining the effects of selective interventions on shifts in comparative advantage, which is addressed in subsequent chapters. Section 3.2 reviews Sri Lanka’s policy history and recent manufacturing performance. Section 3.3 addresses the influence of the new trade regime on manufactured export growth while section 3.4 examines the structure of exports to identify whether there has been significant diversification and technological upgrading. Section 3.5 assesses the contribution made by foreign ownership to exports. Section 3.6 compares Sri Lanka’s export performance with the NICs and section 3.7 summarizes.
