Sri Lanka upgraded to upper-middle income economy by World Bank

The World Bank has upgraded Sri Lanka to an upper-middle-income economy, a notable shift from its prior classification as a lower-middle-income nation. This change is significant as it reflects improvements in Sri Lanka's economic growth and income levels, which had previously deteriorated. The upgrade, first achieved in 2019, underscores the importance of sustainable economic policies and recovery efforts in the wake of economic challenges faced by the country.
