Sri Lanka is currently facing its worst economic crisis since independence. Decades of shortsighted policies and halfhearted reforms weakened our foundation, and a global crisis pushed us to a brink.
While President Ranil Wickremesinghe and the current cabinet have stated there needs to be some deep economic reform, no roadmap has been put forward thus far.
"On Friday I tabled in Parliament an economic recovery blueprint for Sri Lanka which has been endorsed by the other two members of the SJB Economic Committee, Kabir Hashim and Eran Wickramaratne. In this blueprint, I put out a 10-step plan to help navigate Sri Lanka out of our economic crisis using policies that have been decades in the making," Parliamentarian Harsha de Silva said.
"I invite the government, opposition parties, international partners, as well as all other relevant stakeholders to use this blueprint to start the conversation on how best to bring Sri Lanka out of this socio-economic crisis. As always feedback is more than welcome, I’m eager to hear your thoughts."
