Business Backdrop Having hit the record growth of 8.0% in 2010, Sri Lankan economy envisages to boost its growth in the years to come. With this situation at, the public invest- ment programme of the government progressed with accelerated implementa- tion of many major infrastructure development projects. During the year, the key Focus of the government was the development of roads, besides the other strategic areas such as Ports, power and Energy, Irrigation and Water Supply and Sanitation. Furthermore, the government, other than recon- structing the damaged irrigation facilities and roads due to floods, successfully continued its rural development initiatives such as “Gama Naguma” and “Maga Naguma” as well as the development initiatives under “Uthuru Wasanthaya” whereby the capital expenditure was increased. The construction sector expanded significantly by 9.3 per cent in value added terms in 2010 compared to the lower growth rate of 5.6 percent in 2009. Increased activity in construction was depicted by the growth of domestic pro- duction of building materials by 12.0 per cent during the year. Also the, cement availability grew by 18.1 per cent in 2010 compared to the contraction of 11.1 per cent in the previous year. The increased involvement in the private sector was reflected by the growth of private sector credit for construction purposes by 19.3 per cent during the year. Meanwhile, the government construction projects related to roads, ports, power sector, irrigation and water resources and housing together with other small scale construction also contributed favourably to the growth in value added in the construction sector. The construction sector expanded with the acceleration of the ongoing road development projects such as the Colombo – Katunayake and Southern Expressways, interregional national highways and mega power projects initiated to meet the rising demand for electricity. On the other hand, the con- struction activities were boosted due to Port development projects and the construction and reconstruction work done in newly liberates areas. 2.1. Status of Key Position Platform A new Chairman was appointed during the year 2010 and changes were made to the Board of Directors.
