The Sri Lankan Cabinet has given formal approval to establish a public-private partnership arrangement for the country's state printer, according to official announcements. The partnership model is intended to leverage private sector expertise and investment to enhance the operational and financial performance of the government printing facility.
Under the proposed framework, private sector participation is expected to bring technological upgrades, improved management practices, and greater operational efficiency to the state printing corporation.
