Sri Lanka has immensely benefited from Saarc countries, particularly Bangladesh and India, from a macroeconomic perspective in recent times, the central bank governor of the Island nation said yesterday.

P Nandalal Weerasinghe made the remark while addressing the inaugural session of the 14th South Asia Economic Summit, a two-day event, hosted by the Centre for Policy Dialogue at the Sheraton Dhaka hotel.

In September, Sri Lanka paid 50 million US dollar to Bangladesh, the final instalment of a 200 million dollar loan taken under a currency swap agreement two years ago.
