Land mines Approximately 23 square kilometers of Sri Lanka have land mines left from its civil war. Most land mines have been cleared, but some areas in northern and eastern Sri Lanka are still dangerous. The highest concentration is in the northern districts of the Northern Province. This territory has dense forests and rough terrain. Warning signs with the international land mine symbol mark the areas of greatest risk. The symbol shows a skull and crossbones in a red, upside-down triangle. White markers indicate cleared land.

Key Economic Findings

  • Recent GDP growth is 5.0%, giving a baseline indication of economic direction.
  • Inflation is not currently the dominant economic stress signal in the latest World Bank indicator set.
  • Unemployment is below the primary AEGIS watch threshold in the latest indicator set.
  • Government debt is elevated, which can constrain crisis response, public spending, and resiliency programs.

Trajectory Signal

Improving

Economic stress is treated as a driver for unrest, migration, corruption, criminal pressure, institutional capacity, and resiliency. It informs PMESII-Economic and trajectory analysis but does not replace official advisory guidance.
