Deputy Minister Nalin Hewage stated that the current government has made significant progress in stabilizing the economy within a short period. He emphasized that the administration’s primary goal was to prevent the country from further economic collapse.
Hewage highlighted that the Sri Lankan rupee has strengthened against the US dollar and that foreign reserves have now reached $7 billion. As a result, he assured that the country has sufficient dollar reserves to facilitate imports for several months, easing concerns over essential goods and trade.
Additionally, he noted that Sri Lanka recorded its highest number of tourist arrivals in the past five years under the current government, contributing to economic recovery.
The Deputy Minister made these remarks while addressing a National People’s Forces friendly meeting, reiterating the government’s commitment to further economic growth and stability.
