Hon. Ravi Karunanayake challenged the Government to clarify its policy on loss-making State-Owned Enterprises in the context of the IMF Agreement. He asked whether entities such as SriLankan Airlines would be commercialized or privatized, or whether the Government would retain them and continue absorbing their losses.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 The first answer is evasive; let me ask my second. You said entities like SriLankan Airlines incurred losses due to opaque governance. Under your IMF Agreement, will loss‑making SOEs be commercialized or privatized, or will the Government retain them and absorb losses? Please state clearly your future course.
