Health Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa has declared that the new government has successfully brought stability to the country within just three months of assuming office. Speaking at a media briefing in Kalutara, Dr. Jayatissa praised the leadership of the President, whose decisive actions and close collaboration with government officials, including the Ministry of Finance, were pivotal in achieving this milestone.
He elaborated that one of the administration’s primary objectives was to restore confidence in Sri Lanka’s economy, both locally and internationally. Significant progress has been made in this regard, with foreign-funded projects that were previously suspended now resumed, and new investment opportunities actively being pursued.
“The President has taken clear, firm decisions to navigate the challenges we faced and ensured that the economy did not spiral further into crisis,” Dr. Jayatissa stated.
Dr. Jayatissa also pointed to the stock market’s performance as a strong indicator of the renewed investor confidence in Sri Lanka. The Colombo Stock Exchange has shown consistent growth over the past few months, reflecting a positive outlook from both domestic and foreign stakeholders.
In addition to economic reforms, the government has focused on creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurship. Local entrepreneurs have reported increased support from financial institutions, and global investors are showing renewed interest in entering the Sri Lankan market.
The Health Minister further noted that public sector reforms and infrastructure developments are being prioritized to support long-term growth. Discussions are in progress with international organizations to secure further investments in healthcare, education, and energy.
“Our efforts to stabilize the country are just the beginning,” Dr. Jayatissa emphasized. “The government is committed to building on this foundation and driving sustainable progress for all citizens.”
