FDI was 0.96 % of GDP in 2025, 0.20 % of GDP compared with a year earlier. Current status: සැලකිල්ල. Healthy range: There is no fixed rule; emerging economies attracting strong investment typically see 2–5% of GDP. Here 2% and above is Good, 1–2% Watch and below 1% Concern (indicative). Compared with peers —

This measures new long-term investment by foreign companies — building factories, buying a lasting stake in local firms — as a share of GDP. Formula: FDI net inflows ÷ nominal GDP × 100. Showing it as a share of GDP makes years and countries comparable.

If foreign firms invest USD 1 billion in a year and the economy produces USD 100 billion, FDI is 1% of GDP.

Higher FDI brings capital, technology and jobs, and earns foreign currency without adding to government debt. Vietnam sustained FDI of around 4–6% of GDP while building its export industries. FDI concentrated in a few projects can later mean large profit outflows to foreign owners.

Low FDI means fewer new factories and jobs, slower technology transfer and more reliance on borrowing to fund investment. Sri Lanka's FDI has mostly stayed around 1–2% of GDP, below many Asian peers — often linked to policy uncertainty and the cost of doing business.

There is no fixed rule; emerging economies attracting strong investment typically see 2–5% of GDP. Here 2% and above is Good, 1–2% Watch and below 1% Concern (indicative).
