The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised concern that port or logistics congestion is contributing to cost-push inflation and affecting both shipping and export activity. Citing the December 2024 trade balance, he questioned how the Government intends to address congestion when imports are increasing while exports are not keeping pace.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I would say that that has led to cost-push inflation. I saw that the December ’24 trade balance has increased with imports coming in and no exports going out. So, how can we ensure that we eradicate this congestion, which is impacting on the shipping industry and the export industry?
