As the Central Bank of Sri Lanka proudly celebrates its Diamond Jubilee this year, our theme, “Stability for Prosperity”, reflects a direction that would guide our country’s steady progress. Stability lays the foundation for confidence and innovation, which would eventually pave the way for consistent growth and resilience. Continuous research promotes evidence-based policymaking, opens the door to the frontiers of knowledge, and provides valuable insights and takeaways from history to inform and strengthen our way forward. Consequently, facilitating the International Research Conference 2025 signifies our commitment to enhancing our capacity in promoting stability.
