What is happening in your export markets?

Dr. Razeen Sally, an international trade expert, will be sharing his views on current economic and trade policy developments in the E.U., U.S.A., and China, and how these will be relevant to Sri Lanka at a seminar organised by the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce on February 26, from 2.30 p.m. to 5 p.m. The seminar will be held at the Ground Floor Auditorium of the Chamber.

The E.U. and the U.S. account for nearly 60 percent of exports of Sri Lanka and being the major trading nations, the changes taking place in these economies and trade policy will have a tremendous impact on exports from Sri Lanka.

The economies of these countries are facing challenging times. Hence, learning from an international trade expert who has insight into these developments and how these will impact Sri Lanka will assist companies in adopting strategies to face the emerging challenges in a very volatile global economic environment.

Dr. Sally is a lecturer at the London School of Economics and Co-Director of the "European Centre for International Political Economy", a think tank based in Brussels, Belgium. He is also a Senior Research Associate at the South African Institute of International Affairs in Johannesburg, Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore, a Visiting Fellow at the University of Hong Kong, and Director, Trade Policy, at the Commonwealth Business Council in London.
