The Hon. Anura Kumara Dissanayaka - President
Anura Kumara Dissanayaka rejected claims that projected government revenues, including those expected from reopening vehicle imports, would not materialize. He challenged critics to identify any investor who had withdrawn after committing to Sri Lanka, arguing that unsubstantiated statements about investors leaving could undermine confidence and create instability.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Statements were made that the government’s projected revenues this year will not materialize, and that reopening vehicle imports will not yield the expected revenues—creating uncertainty. It was also said that investors will not come, or are leaving. If so, name one investor who left after committing. Such claims signal to investors: “Don’t come to Sri Lanka; those here are leaving.” That breeds instability.
