dc.description.abstractWith the phasing out of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA), the Sri Lankan economy, highly dependent on garment exports, has become vulnerable to the changing scenario affecting this industry in the global trading system. In such a global environment, strengthening the competitiveness of the garment industry has become a sine qua non for Sri Lanka to remain one of the suppliers of choice in her major markets. The industry therefore needs to articulate new response mechanisms to address the emerging challenges. A realistic course of action should involve addressing the major constraints in both the supply and demand sides of the industry. This paper highlights these issues and suggests some strategies for coping with the new global challenges.
