The Minister also pointed to the performance of the Colombo Stock Exchange, which he claimed is witnessing rapid growth, reflecting investor optimism and improved market conditions. Vidyarathna noted that the government had successfully reduced the prices of certain essential goods, providing some relief to the people.
