CFA Society Sri Lanka and Frontier Research Announce “Economics in Practice” Learning Programme

CFA Society Sri Lanka, in collaboration with Frontier Research Pvt Ltd, has announced a half-day executive learning programme titled “Economics in Practice.” The programme will be held on Thursday, 12 March 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott Colombo City Centre.

The programme aims to help professionals understand economic developments in a practical and structured manner. It will focus on interpreting key economic indicators, assessing fiscal and external sector trends, analysing trade balances, capital flows, and reserve movements to better evaluate Sri Lanka’s economic direction and its impact on business and investment decisions.

The programme is tailored for corporate executives and professionals involved in strategic planning, corporate finance, treasury and funding, business development, sourcing, investment analysis, and business strategy. It is also relevant for CFA candidates, and finance professionals seeking applied economic perspectives directly aligned with their roles and organisational responsibilities.

The session will be delivered by Frontier Research’s economics team, comprising Arshad Ismail, Senior Research Lead; Tony Jesuthasan, Research Analyst; Tharangi Sumanaweera, Research Analyst; and Himaru Yatipansalawa, Research Analyst, who collectively bring extensive experience in macroeconomic research and policy analysis.

Commenting on the initiative, Aruna Alwis, CEO of CFA Society Sri Lanka, stated:

“In today’s changing economic environment, corporate executives need to understand what economic data really means for their organisations. This programme will help executives interpret economic trends clearly and use that knowledge to make better strategic and investment decisions.”
