Sri Lanka’s present administration headed by newly appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will unveil an economic recovery plan or ‘Way forward’ fiscal plan next week.
The Finance Ministry has already devised this fiscal plan for economic recovery to operationalise necessary measures to build the credibility of the economy on a sustained basis.
It has suggested a holistic national effort, with the participation and ownership of all stakeholders including citizens, political entities, the civil service, and private sector, among others.
The Prime Minister told Parliament on Wednesday that he will submit this economic recovery plan next week although there was some disparity in the Government data.
He also promised to arrange a meeting between the main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and Treasury officials to discuss matters related to the economy.
The offer was made by the Prime Minister while responding to a question raised by SJB MP Dr. Harsha de Silva in Parliament on Wednesday. Dr. Harsha de Silva questioned reports that Sri Lanka was going into a hard default of its repayments. (Bandula)
