Hon. Chithral Fernando questioned the Government’s debt management commitments in relation to its policy manifesto “Prosperous Country, Beautiful Life.” He asked whether the Government’s acknowledgment of public pressure under the relevant Agreement amounted to an admission that its promised debt sustainability analysis and manageable debt-service targets were not accurate.

¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Minister. My first Supplementary Question is this: I asked to understand the Government’s forward goals and actions. You have acknowledged public pressure under the Agreement. In your policy manifesto “Prosperous Country, Beautiful Life”, on page 105, you promised a debt sustainability analysis (DSA) to keep debt service at a manageable level. Are you admitting those were untrue?
