Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says that a reduction of the economic growth rate of the country is to be expected this year.

The Premier cited the recent natural disasters as the cause for this expected economic growth rate reduction.

He stated this upon attending a meeting at the Divisional Secretariat Office of Neluwa yesterday (15). The meeting was held in order to address the progress of the region’s return to normalcy, following the recent floods and landslides.
