Norwegian Pension Fund doubles its investment in Sri Lanka

In Swedish -investera och exportera - vilket stöd finns.

Sri Lanka är en snabbt växande hubb i Sydasien. Det finns många möjligheter för svenska företag. Viktigt att komma ihåg -genom en närvaro på Sri Lanka nås andra viktiga marknader i Asien och Mellanöstern men även Östra Afrika. Lankesiska företag har goda förbindelser i dessa marknader. Utöver detta är existerande eller kommande frihandelsavtal med Indien, Kina, Singapore och Pakistan värda att beakta.

Svenska regeringen och myndigheter vill öka svensk export. Nedan några exempel på stöd som kan ges. SSLBC bistår även dess medlemmar med inledande rådgivning.
