    • Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva SJB

      AI summary Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva presented the Committee on Public Finance report on the 2025 Appropriation Bill, covering the fiscal, financial and economic assumptions underlying estimated revenue and expenditure, and said a further report on allocations and policy compliance would be presented before the Committee Stage. He outlined the report’s analysis of the legislative framework, macroeconomic projections, revenue strategy, expenditure increases and debt sustainability, noting growth of 3 to 5 per cent, inflation returning to 5 per cent, and risks from trade, geopolitics and climate factors. He said revenue projections depend heavily on indirect taxes and vehicle imports to meet IMF EFF targets, while expenditure is expected to rise due mainly to resumed foreign-funded capital projects after debt restructuring.
