Sri Lanka walks a fine line between economic recovery and big-power rivalry

Original: Sri Lanka’s Economic and Geopolitical Balancing Act

Sri Lanka is trying to rebuild its economy after a severe financial crisis while managing pressure from competing powers, particularly China and India, whose investments and influence matter heavily to Colombo. Analysts at the Carnegie Endowment examine how the country balances debt restructuring, IMF-backed reforms, and regional geopolitics without alienating either side, a challenge that remains central to its stability.

Why now: Sri Lanka's recovery from its debt crisis continues to unfold against intensifying India-China competition for influence in the Indian Ocean.
