Abstract:

Sri Lanka’s 21 September presidential election was won by leftist candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake. This follows public disillusionment with the political class and marks a rejection of painful austerity economic policies. The main challenge for the new president will be to strengthen the economy and renegotiate the IMF agreement to lower the cost of living. In foreign affairs, he will pursue pragmatic policy and work with all partners to improve the country’s economic situation. Poland may consider intensifying political and economic cooperation with Sri Lanka, including in the tourism, maritime, and education sectors.
