2006,Computer Crimes Act No. 24 of 2007, Payment
And Settlement Systems Act, No. 28 of 2005, Payment
Devices Frauds Act No.30 of 2006, Telecommunication
Act of Sri Lanka(with Amendments) etc. considerably
attempts protected the right to privacy. However the
absence of express protections heavily impacted the
Economic growth in adverse manner. Due to that reason
institutions and investors are reluctant to comply with
cyber transactions.
