The Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha
Dr. Anil Jayantha responded to a question on Employees’ Provident Fund investments in the share market since 2015, stating that only 5–7 per cent of EPF assets are invested in shares and that he had provided answers on investments, gains and losses. He said EPF investment decisions are handled through the Central Bank’s Investment Committee, while the Labour Ministry is involved in administration, and argued that the member was raising matters outside the scope of the question.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Yes. Hon. Speaker, the question asked is about EPF investments in the share market since 2015. Out of the EPF’s trillions, 5–7 per cent is a small portion. The rest of the question is where invested and the profits. The Hon. Member has turned it into something else—either he does not understand or is attempting politics. I provided correct answers regarding investments, gains and losses, governed by the Investment Committee of the Central Bank; the Labour Ministry is involved in administration. If he asked about those investments, I could answer. He is raising irrelevant matters, Hon. Speaker.
