These are real achievements by our patriotic people, please keep this up, and we have a president like Ranil who’s used to privileges, entitlements by birth, and rogues in parliament. Way to live the country and develop, nicely done, grandpa’s

Once again, congratulations, Sri Lanka. This is prosperity as defined by Gota, mynah and their humble minion ranil. May be we can win gold in a few months.

In our defaulted on government debt, better release the pegged fix on the dollar. After sharp depreciation again to true value maybe 700 rupee to dollar, it will steady up. Exporters will continue to get same dollar for their export, and dollar that converted to rupee will be much more. Middle east remittances will suddenly come through like a flood. They won't hold back once they get fair value, as they know their family suffer because of printed money inflation which is greater than even dollar depreciation. Fuel price will go up, as it is bought in dollar, but dollars themselves will be plenty here, so reliable supply can again be had. Longer the the peg/fix is held, the slower the recovery is going to be, and less out of reality we are. Which then leads to more economic problems in the long run.
