Hon. Vijitha Herath
Vijitha Herath stated that Sri Lanka has crude oil stocks sufficient until August, so any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz is not expected to cause an immediate major impact. He said the Government is prepared with contingency plans in case global production or transport is affected, while continuing to monitor the situation.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Leader of the Opposition, both of us must understand the supply chain. We have crude stocks sufficient until August, so Hormuz is not an immediate major disruption to us. If global production and transport are affected, we have plans and are prepared for adverse scenarios, even as we continue to hope for the best.
