Introduce a legal framework to ensure transparency and fairness in line with internationally accepted principles and practices for accepting and retaining investment.
Why this status
The Government is advancing a legal package aimed at investor confidence and transparency. The 2026 Budget reports amendments to the Strategic Development Projects Act and Colombo Port City Commission Act to streamline FDI and enhance incentive transparency, and says a PPP Bill and an Investment Protection Act are to follow. Because the core new Acts were still described as drafts or future legislation, the evidence supports active reform rather than a completed legal framework.
