To continue growing, however, Sri Lanka needs to pay attention to its much neglected infrastructure. Accordingly, this report, aims to provide policy makers in Sri Lanka with a sound analytical basis for prioritizing investments and designing policy interventions that result in the mobilization of funds and their effective use for future development of Sri Lanka’s infrastructure, and also to improve understanding of the infrastructure sectors in Sri Lanka, including their current state and performance, future development needs, investment requirements and financing gaps, and bottlenecks to infrastructure development.The report assesses the country’s infrastructure endowment and performance, analyzes the contribution of infrastructure to economic and spatial development, and outlines investment needs and strategic priorities within those established by the Mahinda Chintana. It provides a cross-sectoral analysis of the major infrastructure cross-cutting themes including the link between infrastructure and poverty reduction and economic growth; the institutional and regulatory framework; the main issues regarding planning, coordination, and financing; and the role and constraints of private sector participation in infrastructure financing and service provision. It identifies bottlenecks to economic growth and considers policy issues to address them. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEconomic development$zSri Lanka 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$xGovernment policy$zSri Lanka 606 $aPublic investments$zSri Lanka 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics)$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPublic investments 676 $a338.95493 700 $aBiller$b Dan$01808917 701 $aNabi$b Ijaz$01808918 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965857603321 996 $aInvesting in infrastructure harnessing its potential for economic growth in Sri Lanka$94359417 997 $aUNINA
