BOP records surplus of US$ 749m, inflation contained at single digit | Daily News Online : Sri Lanka's National News

I think it's a great achievement that we have a Balance of Payment surplus considering the sheer amount of resources being spent developing nationwide infrastructure. To achieve all that and still record almost $1 billion US in surplus is wonderful news!

True! I checked other articles too, this was just the first one. Here's Reuters:

"It also said the country had recorded a balance-of-payments surplus of $749 million by end-October, broadly in line with the year-end target of $700 million."
