In his key note address a point highlighted was that almost 23,000 IT graduates are required in Sri Lanka annually by the top BPO and KPO’s in Sri Lanka but the education system supplies only a 13,000 at its best which is an opportunity that youngsters must focus on said Dr Athukorala. All Jobs in the IT sector are on ‘ dollar pegs’ salaries and let’s focus on the positives even though Sri Lanka’s Economy will shrink by -8.3% in 2022 and another -3.3% in 2023 he said.

Let’s accept it we are into a challenging time. Recent research reveal that only 8% of Sri Lankan households are earning money to cover their monthly expenditure. Which means that 92% are reaching up to the savings to survive. It is an absolute reality as food inflation is at 94% and interest rates are at 30% so we cannot expect miracles he said. But we must also be sharp to know that Sri Lanka’s economy is generated seventy six billion dollars even with the current economic down turn. Let’s identify those sectors and get the skill set up to rebuild Sri Lanka said the Former Chairman of Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) and the Former Sri Lanka Tourism. We must be sharp in an economy like Sri Lanka rather than just follow the tide said Athukorala.
