Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, please give me one more minute.
¶ 02 Of the 18 economic development indicators examined here, 15 show favorable trends and three indicate adverse conditions. In the spirit of Thiruvalluvar’s maxim, “Examine virtues and faults and choose what exceeds,” let us recognize that there are more positive elements.
¶ 03 With the uncertainty prevailing in 2023 now receding, Sri Lanka is moving on a firm path of economic recovery, which is reason for us Sri Lankans to be glad. I conclude. Thank you.
