The island nation of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is strategically situated south of India astride major Indian Ocean shipping lanes. It has a population of more than 21,300,000. Sri Lanka is known for the production and export of tea, coffee, sugar, rubber, and cinnamon, and is a booming tourist destination. While agricultural commodities are still important to it, Sri Lanka has also become an industrialized economy, including such areas as food processing, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, telecommunications, and insurance and banking. After growing at an annual rate of 6% in 2008, the Sri Lanka GDP has been projected by the International Monetary Fund to continue to grow in 2009 at a rate of 3.5% for the year.
