Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, thank you for the clarifications. If there were earlier doubts among entrepreneurs about our economic policy and the State–private sector balance, they no longer exist. We are pursuing reforms in SOEs without political interference—decision-making delays remain a challenge we are addressing to facilitate investors. Your questions on our general SOE stance were answered with policy references; on sugar specifically, I have provided concrete replies.
