12 May 2022

The operation of all free trade zone (FTZ) areas and export companies under the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI) continues to function and is bouncing back to normal conditions with employees reporting for duty despite certain setbacks that were faced in the country, the BOI noted yesterday (11). The BOI has been communicating with law enforcement authorities to facilitate and ensure smooth transportation of all the workers to their respective factories without any difficulty. The BOI stated: “At the same time, we are also working hand-in-hand with the Sri Lanka Customs and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority with respect to smooth import and export processes for BOI enterprises. In the face of the current circumstances, it is of utmost importance that we keep our valued foreign exchange earnings flowing into the country by providing required assistance to our enterprises by all relevant agencies.  “Therefore, the BOI wishes to thank all relevant stakeholders for the assistance provided thus far and look forward to continued co-operation of all concerned parties to ensure the smooth functioning of our enterprises.”
