Ratio between per capita income of the province to that of all Island
1
The Western province, made the highest contribution to GDP in 2010. However its share
in GDP reduced to 45.1 per cent from 45.8 per cent in 2009. As in 2009, Southern province
provided the second highest contribution which was 10.7 per cent, an increase compared
to 10.5 per cent in 2009. The Central province provided the third highest contribution
maintaining its relative position compared to 2009 and managing to increase its GDP
contribution to 10.0 per cent in 2010. However, the contribution of the North Western
province declined to 9.4 per cent in 2010 from 9.6 per cent in 2009. The contributions to
GDP from Northern, Eastern, North Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces increased in
2010 while that of the Uva province was unchanged.
In line with improvements in country’s economic environment, all the provinces have
reported a double digit growth rate in 2010. Reflecting the rapid expansion in income
generating activities in the Northern province, GDP growth rate was highest in the
province at 22.9 per cent. It’s contribution to GDP also increased from 3.2 per cent in 2009
to 3.4 per cent in 2010. The North Central province has reported a 20.3 per cent GDP
growth rate which is the second highest among all the provinces. Sabaragamuwa and
Eastern provinces also reported high GDP growth rates of 19.1 and 18.7 respectively.
As in the past, the Western province contributed significantly to GDP in the country, as
most of the economic activities that relate to sea port, air ports, banking and financial
institutions and business centers are still centralized in the province. Even though the
Western province accounts for the highest share of GDP by far, the slight reduction in its
relative share in 2010 indicates a further reduction in the disparity among provinces.

The per capita income in the Western province which stood at US$ 3,808 (Rs. 430,488) was
1.6 times the national per capita income in 2010. Per capita income in all other provinces
continued to fall below the national per capita income. Also in all provinces, this ratio
was unchanged except in the Sabaragamuwa province where the relevant ratio increased.

Table 2
GDP Composition of the Provinces
The sectoral contribution to GDP of the provinces is shown in Table 2.
There are
considerable variations in the structure of GDP across the provinces. Agriculture
accounted for just 3 per cent of GDP in Western province in 2010, whereas it accounted for
over 16 per cent of GDP in the other provinces. In the Uva province agriculture accounted
for more than 30 per cent of GDP. In all provinces industry accounted for between 14.2
per cent and 34.8 per cent of GDP in 2010. Services sector was the most dominant single
3
sector accounting for between 48.3 per cent and 69.8 per cent of the GDP in the different
provinces.
The contribution of the agriculture sector to GDP of the Western, Uva and Sabaragamuwa
provinces increased in 2010 compared to 2009, while that of the other provinces
decreased. The contribution from the industry sector declined in the Western, Eastern,
Uva and Sabragamuwa provinces in 2010 but expanded in the other provinces. The
greatest contribution to GDP from this sector was observed in the Southern province.
Despite the contribution from the industry sector to GDP being lowest in Northern
province, the province experienced the greatest expansion in its contribution during the
period 2009- 2010. Meanwhile the contribution from the service sector increased in the
Western, Eastern and North Central provinces but declined in all other provinces during
2010.
