"Sri Lanka’s major trading partners broadly remained unchanged in 2019 from the previous year. In value terms, India continued to be the major trading partner of Sri Lanka in 2019, followed by China and the USA, all of which together contributed around 40 per cent of total trade of Sri Lanka.

However, total trade with India, which exceeded US dollars 5 billion in 2018, declined to US dollars 4.7 billion in 2019. Trade with China also declined but remained above US dollars 4 billion as in the previous year, and trade with the USA exceeded US dollars 3 billion.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), the UK, Japan, Singapore and Germany were the other major trading partners, which accounted for total trade to the value of more than US dollars 1 billion each in 2019."
