Pakistan, Oct. 7 -- COLOMBO - Sri Lanka's economic recovery remains slow and uneven, with many citizens still struggling to rebuild their lives after the country's worst-ever financial crisis in 2022, the World Bank said on Tuesday. The institution highlighted that while some indicators show progress, the overall recovery remains incomplete and fragile.

In its latest review, the World Bank projected that Sri Lanka's economic growth would slow to 4.6 percent in 2025 and 3.5 percent in 2026, compared to 5 percent recorded last year. This slowdown reflects weak consumer demand, limited job opportunities, and the lasting effects of austerity measures introduced to stabilize the economy.
