Risk/Reward Index
Sri Lanka's Pharmaceutical Risk/Reward Index (RRI) score for Q4 2015 stands at 38.2 out of a total of 100, making it the 17th-most attractive pharmaceutical market in the Asia Pacific region. The main reason for the country's low score is the relatively small population size, which presents modest opportunities.
