Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe says despite the International Monetary Fund (IMF) having projected Sri Lanka’s growth to be moderate in 2024-25, at around 3%, it was at 4.4% at present.
Speaking at a public event, the former President said that Sri Lanka’s growth has the potential to reach 5% next year.
Ranil Wickremesinghe further said the former government had developed the nation before handing over power.
“If only these people knew this. They should work to achieve this target. If you don’t know, then ask Grandpa,” he said jovially.
Ranil Wickremesinghe also emphasized that the salary increase of public servants, per the recommendations of the Udaya R. Seneviratne report, will be one of the first matters taken up in the newly established Parliament.
He further urged the government to pay the people and to provide as much concessions as possible. (Islandnews)
