Speaking on opportunities available for Sri Lankan entrepreneurs and investors to engage in trade in Australia, Furkan said, “I’m happy to see the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka coming up with a Data Protection Act which will give a lot of comfort to players to come into Sri Lanka because data that is being transferred from Australia to Sri Lanka will meet high standards.”
“Another opportunity is in the open banking sector. Australia has decided to roll out the open banking regime this year and it is the system of allowing the consumer to get the control of their data.

With the open banking regime, the bank will give the consumer the opportunity to shop around with different banks, financial institutions or Telecom companies,” Furkan added.
