VIDEO SUMMARY
Sri Lanka was once a country with high living standards in South Asia but is now facing deep economic, financial, and political crises.
The country has experienced a brain drain, with around 300,000 skilled workers leaving in 2022, which is a significant loss considering the population of just over 22 million.
Sri Lanka has made progress in reducing income inequality, but still, about half the population lives on less than $6.85 a day.
The country is grappling with high inflation, with an unofficial rate potentially exceeding 50%, leading to the central bank raising interest rates.
Sri Lanka has a high level of national debt, over 120% of GDP, and has been running large fiscal deficits, further fueling the debt issue.
Youth unemployment is a major problem, with rates five times higher than the overall unemployment rate.
The economy heavily relies on farming, textiles, and travel and tourism, with a significant decline in tourism due to the pandemic.
The economic crisis has caused a sharp increase in poverty, reversing a decade or more worth of progress in poverty reduction.
Sri Lanka defaulted on its debt, becoming the first Asian economy to do so in 20 years, leading to a significant increase in borrowing costs.
The country negotiated a $3 billion bailout deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to restructure its debt, but the IMF's conditions include fiscal austerity measures and anti-corruption measures.
The economic crisis has also led to a depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee, causing a fall in living standards and increasing the cost of imports.
Remittances and overseas aid play a crucial role in stabilizing the economy, but Sri Lanka is becoming increasingly dependent on aid and debt relief.
The consequences of the IMF bailout and fiscal austerity measures imposed raise questions about their impact on the Sri Lankan economy.

In his recent book Oxford professor Stefan Dercon argues that navigating an economy into success depends critically on the bargain that is struck with the elites. How does this apply to Sri Lanka?
Verité Research hosts two distinguished speakers, Professor Stefan Dercon and Professor Shanta Deverajan, to explain this dynamic and apply the problem of the Elite Bargain to the challenges that Sri Lanka is facing, in emerging from the present economic crisis.
Stefan Dercon is a Professor of Economic Policy at University of Oxford in the Blavatnik School of Government with research interest concerning, on what keeps some people and countries poor: the failures of markets, governments and politics, and how these dynamics can be changed.
Shanta Deverajan is a professor of the practice of development at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, non-resident fellow of Verite Research, and retired as the acting chief economist of the world bank.
