A sum of U.S. $ 237.1 million has been invested. This figure exceeds the previous years and that the port-related investments registered an increase between U.S. $ 500 million for the third terminal to be built in the port of Colombo.

Government policy initiatives promoting growth in the maritime transport sector and one of the major policy initiatives introduced by the 2012 budget is the opening of free zones in ports of Colombo, Hambantota and Trincomalee. This will give a big boost for the added value related to logistics and could attract major FDI, Colombo Academy Chargers CEO Rohan Masakorala told Daily News Business.

The government needs to further liberalize the business environment to attract global players to enter Sri Lanka. "This should be in line with the CI investment policies to ensure large capital investment and services projects in the transport business," he said.

Investment in port operation and the construction of infrastructure through PPP promotes, where private investment tends to increase U.S. $ 440 million over two years from 2011 while the investment is expected to reach U.S. $ 2.8 billion over the period 2017 to 2020.

However, the global shipping industry has declined due to economic crisis in the EU and the U.S.. As a result, the freight market has been volatile and unstable.

The local transfer business has also seen the negative effects and the overall volume of Colombo has been stalled due to this reason and capacity deficiencies has not been studied a decade ago.

The shipping industry has also suffered from Sri Lanka due to market instability. As for the infrastructure we have seen remarkable achievements in the port sector, which will undoubtedly help the economy move forward during the next decade.

"The government has embarked on an expansion unit with capacity of major ports have accelerated projects to overcome the shortcomings," he said.

The port project south of Colombo, Sri Lanka is seen to be the only port in South Asia that have the capability of handling the largest container ships of 2013/2014. This will help eliminate the current problems facing the SLPA and ability to attract more business to Sri Lanka and improve connectivity. This is a prerequisite to increase the transshipment trade and logistics.

The Hambantota port will see the gradual increase in bulk cargo handling such projects have become operational. This facility will also help us in our supply of fuel and boat chandelling capabilities as a regional center.

"But we have to understand that global giants are now looking for alternative locations for services. Asia is an emerging market, while infrastructure projects are being upgraded, we must improve our services and trade facilitation measures for processes simple and transparent business, "he said.

"To make shipping and logistics with success, now we must work in an integrated plan for ports and airports, and other related service providers, therefore, the customs laws, the IC, the merchant marine and related laws Logistics have to be modified to attract investors, "said Masakorala.

What is happening as FOREX trading in Srilanka

Sri Lankans have suffered a lot of scams in recent years. Investment scams such as Sakvithi and Golden Key promised extraordinarily high returns on deposits. However, all these activities have failed at some point, costing depositors of their hard earned money. What is worse, pyramid schemes are still rampant in the region. Forex Trading, however, is not a scam. It's really a viable way to make money in the foreign currency market.


A relative lack of Internet use in this region makes FOREX trading in Sri Lanka a little known and explored Littler option to search for investment income. However, for those who have Internet access, a little practice can make a lucrative investment opportunity for the savvy investor.

The first step is to choose a forex broker. Two options exist for the good Forex trading in Sri Lanka. The first is eToro. This trading platform is ideal for the beginner. This is because market data are presented using a graphical interface that makes forex trading almost like playing a video game. Real-time data is converted graphically to show a runner wins or loses ground in a race. There are other graphic simulations that operate similarly to help newcomers learn about the FOREX market.


AVAFX is another really good trading platform for those with limited experience. While trading on this site is not like playing a game, technical analysis and data are presented in a way that even someone with no experience in the financial markets can see what is happening minute to minute.

Both offer a multitude of free tools that allow the investor to formulate a negotiating strategy and create commands that dictate when to open a trade, when to close a trade and when to take profit or stop loss. A tool, known as a trailing stop loss allows a trader to enter a trade and get as long as the movement is in a favorable direction. The stop loss is set a number of pips behind the entry point. As advances in position, the stop loss follows the same number of pips behind. When the market turns around, he can not move the prescribed number of seeds before the stop loss kicks in and closes the trade.

The best way to learn forex trading in Sri Lanka on either platform is to use free demo accounts they offer. These demo accounts allow you to create orders and make trades based on data in real time without risking a penny of their hard earned money. We can look at market movements and see how he / she would have made or lost on the same business while remaining secure in that no money was risky.

One thing that most traders do not understand is that the demo account is good for practice but does not represent actual trades in the market. Trades initiated in the demo account has no real impact on the market.

A note to be observed in forex trading in Sri Lanka is that all winning trades for you is a losing trade for someone else. The same is true if you enter a business that loses money. Someone is making money with this trade, it just was not you.

The foreign exchange market is not a get rich quick. This is a very real, until recently, very secret, the financial market that holds great potential with many risks.

The key to FOREX trading in Sri Lanka begins to find the best trading platform for your trading style. EToro AVAFX and both offer many useful tools that can make it easier and more productive to trade with them. Then you have a great practice using the free demo account offered by the platform chosen.

95 percent of new investors in the FOREX market failure. These people lose their investment and get discouraged. A major reason is that they do not take the time to become competent and experienced in making crafts using their demo account before they jump in with both feet. You want the other 5 percent of investors who make money with Forex Trading.
