Abstract:
Economic growth at the national level in Sri Lanka in the past few years has been
largely state-led. Similarly, economic growth in the formerly civil war-affected
northern province has also been largely state-led (including mushrooming
military enterprises) during the past two years after the end of the civil war.
This author is of the view that individual and corporate entrepreneur-led growth
strategy is the appropriate strategy to revive the national economy and the
formerly war-torn regional economies. Moreover, current military peace should
be transformed into civil peace in the former war-torn areas.
