The Department for International Trade (DIT) has a team in Sri Lanka which focuses on significant opportunities. DIT works with Sri Lankan counterparts and the wider business community to identify emerging opportunities that will continue to increase bilateral trade and investment between the UK and Sri Lanka.

This financial year, DIT has already supported British companies in securing multi-million pound projects in the advanced engineering and financial and professional services sectors.

UK Export Finance, the UK’s export credit agency, has capacity to support UK trade with Sri Lanka and welcomes new applications for support.
