The blog also attempts through its research papers to engage in a role of policy advocacy with the sincere hope that the views expressed in those articles could be useful as valuable inputs to air the views of the business community in Sri Lanka in order to design the best trade and economic policies conducive for sustainable development of the nation.

Many of the recent articles already appearing in the blog discuss objectively and dispassionately issues such as impact of proposed EU GSP Scheme on Sri Lankan exports, recent trade policy development of India and its impact on Sri Lankan trade, introduction to latest Incoterms 2010 practices, impact of revised EU Rules of Origin pertaining to EU GSP Schemes and the current regime of Sri Lanka’s standards. At present there are about 20 research articles on different subjects on macro-economic policies are published on the blog.

The blog has special features to invite the critical comments of the viewers through RSS feeds, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
