The country’s economy will transition to a completely export-dependent economy during the course of the next few years, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says.
The Prime Minister stated this upon attending a ceremony in Ranmuthugala, Kadawatha.
He stated that instead of merely complaining about the inability to pay off loans, the government had taken upon the responsibility of instigating an export-based economy, and consequently creating more employment opportunities, both for the development of the economy.
He added that the GSP+ trade concessions had paved the way to make this goal a reality.
