The Hon. Chathuranga Abeysinghe stated that the National People’s Power’s first Budget is framed as part of an overall plan rather than being centred on a single Ministry. He said the coordinated work of industry, transport, technology, and agriculture is intended to establish the foundation for a production-based economy.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 All this has taken place within an overall plan. Therefore, the first Budget presented by the National People’s Power is not based on one Ministry. The combined processes of Industry, Transport, Technology, and Agriculture form the first foundation for a production economy. Thank you.
