Economy:
The country had experienced an annual growth of 6.4 percent from 2003 to 2012, well above its regional peers. This growth was driven by the growth of non-tradable sectors, which the World Bank warned to be both unsustainable and unequitable. Growth has slowed since then. Sri Lanka was re-classified as a lower middle income nation by the World Bank from a previous upper middle income status. It has met the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving extreme poverty
