🇱🇰 Sri Lanka has pulled off a miraculous economic recovery, years after a devastating economic crisis.

Most South Asian countries are designated ‘lower middle income.’ But on July 1, the World Bank upgraded Sri Lanka to ‘upper middle income’ after its economy grew 5% in 2025, outpacing its 3.5% forecast.

The World Bank designates upper middle income countries as those with gross national income (GNI) per capita of $4,636 to $14,375. GNI is equivalent to GDP plus net income from abroad, which accounts for foreign debt. Sri Lanka, with a GNI per capita of $4,670, joins upper middle income countries such as China, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa.

That said, GDP per capita is the more popular global metric. Sri Lanka has South Asia’s second-highest at $5,002 — crossing $5,000 for the first time in its modern history — surpassing that of Bhutan ($4,493), India ($2,703), Bangladesh ($2,597), Pakistan ($1,596), and Nepal ($1,536). Maldives has the region’s highest GDP per capita, $14,615.

Sri Lanka’s growth is especially remarkable because of its 2022 economic crisis, when it owed roughly $51 billion in foreign debt. As forex reserves plummeted, it couldn’t pay for necessities like medicine and fuel. It also halted debt repayments.

After getting a multibillion-dollar IMF bailout, Sri Lanka raised taxes, cut public spending, and restructured its debt. It received $4 billion in aid and credit from India, and saw its tourism sector improve. An all-time high of 2.3 million visitors arrived in 2025, bringing much-needed foreign currency.

“Sri Lanka is a story of recovery. Just three years after a severe economic crisis brought the country to the brink of collapse in 2022, real GDP grew by 5% in 2025, driven by a rebound across industries and growth in financial and tourism services,” the World Bank wrote. “The reclassification is a marker of resilience.”

World Bank Group Country Income Classifications 2026–27

This year, none of the countries assessed moved down. Five moved from lower-middle to upper-middle income:

* Jordan
* Micronesia
* the Philippines
* Sri Lanka
* Viet Nam

Sri Lanka is a story of recovery. Just three years after a severe economic crisis brought the country to the brink of collapse in 2022, real GDP grew by 5% in 2025, driven by a rebound across industries and growth in financial and tourism services. The reclassification is a marker of resilience, though the country only narrowly crossed the threshold.

[World Bank Group @WorldBankGroup]

The @WorldBankGroup has released its 2026-2027 Country Income Classifications.

Six economies moved to a higher income category, and no countries moved down.

Behind those changes are different stories, from economic recovery to export-led growth and improved statistics.

Sri Lanka has begun a long-overdue modernization of its public bus system.

The pilot operation began in April 2026 with 10 accessible low-floor buses, and 104 additional Metro buses are scheduled to arrive by August 2026.

This is how Thashmika Arosh, a university student with a disability, experienced his first journey on a Metro bus.

For decades, wheelchair users in Sri Lanka have had almost no practical access to public buses. In this moment, the conductor assists Thashmika in boarding — a simple act, but one that represents something much bigger: a public transport system beginning to recognize that mobility should be for everyone.

Thank you, President @anuradisanayake and Minister @BimalRathnayake, for advancing this valuable and much-needed project.

Modern public transport is not only about new buses. It is about dignity, accessibility, and equal access to opportunity. 🇱🇰

The Student Association of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sabaragamuwa has expressed its opposition to the participation of Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya in the opening ceremony of the faculty’s new Saudi Arabia-funded complex.

The new Faculty of Medicine complex was officially declared open by the Prime Minister today.

In a statement, the Student Association said the faculty was established through the struggle and efforts of students and objected to what it described as the involvement of political authorities in the opening ceremony.

“As the Student Association of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Sabaragamuwa, we express our protest over the involvement of political forces in opening our faculty, which was built through the struggle of students,” the statement said.

The new Faculty of Medicine complex was constructed with funding from Saudi Arabia and is expected to strengthen medical education facilities at the University of Sabaragamuwa. (Newswire)
