Other countries thrive, because their governments encourage and facilitate private enterprise. I know many tea exporters who got their license cancelled for silly reasons and not dancing to the tune of the arrogant government officials. In Lanka the govt officials see businessmen as criminals and do their best to make their lives as hard as possible and stop their businesses.

@ arnold Very true. You really can't hold the officials as arrogant. Our master is arrogant and gives instructions. Also cb is under his command. Everyone who works for him has a slave.

Lol. It is high time to get rid of cb and setup a new authority cable of identifying modern and future ways where we can make revenue as a country. Other countries encourage new methods while these jokers stick to old methods and ruine the country. For example cb is totally responsible for not getting paypal like facilities on time to Sri Lanak when countries like Philippines and Malaysia are way ahead of local cb jokers. These cb jokers only cable of blocking anything possible rather than open markets and get the benefits.

One money changer was declined renewal in Colombo and the owner started another one right beside the old one with a different name and told everyone to come to the new place.
