Cutting-Edge Execution of the TNSW - MVP Commences

In a significant stride toward digitalizing Sri Lanka’s trade landscape, a powerful multi-agency coalition has commenced the development of the Trade National Single Window (TNSW). This initiative brings together the Ministry of Finance, DTIP, TNSWSP – PIU and GovTech to build a streamlined, transparent, and efficient trade ecosystem.

The project has entered its first critical phase: the development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) focused on Sri Lanka’s high-revenue export sectors, comprising the Coconut Development Authority (CDA) and the Sri Lanka Tea Board (SLTB).

From Concept to Reality

During a recent stakeholder session the system developer presented an interactive mockup that offered a first look at the future of trade in Sri Lanka, serving as a "proof of experience". This session was more than just a technical preview toward a more efficient trading landscape.

The Path Ahead

The collaboration between the Ministry of Finance, DTIP, TNSWSP - PIU and its technical partners signals a high-level commitment to reform. While the journey has just begun, the successful showcase of the exporter-centric workflow proves that the digital transformation of Sri Lankan trade is no longer a distant vision - it is an active, unfolding reality.

"This is just the commencement. Our goal is to empower every trader with a digital gateway that makes Sri Lankan commerce more agile and globally competitive."
