Sri Lanka’s apparel exports rose 3.47 per cent YoY to $416.99 million in September 2026, driven by higher shipments to the US and EU.
January–September exports still fell 5.52 per cent to $3.588 billion, about $210 million below the 2025 period.
JAAF said the recovery is encouraging but not a sustained turnaround as competition and demand risks persist.Sri Lanka’s apparel exports rose 3.47 per cent YoY to $416.99 million in September 2026, driven by higher shipments to the US and EU.
