He warned that rising inflation, dollar appreciation, and monetary pressures, compounded by the Middle East conflict, require Government planning to stabilize the economy. He urged action to prevent a recurrence of the shortages and queues experienced in 2022.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I am pleased to participate in this debate on regulations under the CBSL Act to regulate repatriation of export foreign earnings. At the same time, we must recognize the true state of the economy: inflation is rising; the dollar is appreciating; monetary circulation is under strain. The Middle East war is a factor, but our expectation is for Government to organize plans to stabilize the economy and avoid a repeat of 2022’s queues.
