The IMF team congratulated the President and his government on their decisive electoral victory, expressing optimism about the collaboration.
President Dissanayake, in turn, underscored his administration’s responsibility to uphold the people’s mandate, emphasising that the success of the IMF programme hinges on rebuilding public trust in governance and striking a balance in the country’s economic recovery.
Sri Lanka’s apparel industry has expressed concern over the Reciprocal Tariff policy announced by the U.S government today saying the new tariffs could significantly disrupt the country’s largest export sector and put thousands of jobs at risk.
