COLOMBO, Jan 3 (Reuters): Sri Lanka's economic growth in 2018 will bounce back to between 5-5.5 per cent this year from last year's estimate of less than 4 per cent due to a recovery in the global economy, Central Bank Governor Indrajit Coomaraswamy said Wednesday.

"Economic growth is expected to pick up to between 5-5.5 per cent. The economy is stabilising and on the right path but growth is still a challenge," he told an event announcing economic policies for this year.
