France has welcomed the recent positive economic developments in Sri Lanka, with special emphasis on fiscal policy including an ambitious tax reform.

French companies will have a special interest in assessing the contribution of these measures but also other incentives to facilitate their investment, sale or lending decisions. These Companies will consider the global scenario for business environment, such as good governance, timely decision process making, adequate infrastructure, and financial capacity and growth perspectives.

The Embassy of France in Sri Lanka and the Economic Department of the French Embassy in New Delhi have taken the measures to entice French companies based in India to join an official and business mission in Sri Lanka.
