I suggest to the government to increase the interest on foreign currency accounts at least by one percentage point to take more money into these accounts specially from dual citizens, fixed deposit holdings by one and half percentage points from current levels of 2.2%, as well

Good move. The country needs to conserve all the FE it has, rather than allow citizens to gamble in unstable markets.

WE WILL BRING AND SAVE OUR FOREX IN THE COUNTRY. BUT THE GOVT SHOULD GIVE BETTER INCENTIVES TO ATTRACT US TO INVEST IN SRI LANKA
