@danukalive What about Pakistan? How does their system work? They immediately reduced fuel prices substantially after the peace memorandum was signed.

Sri Lanka’s reform program continues to deliver. The IMF Executive Board completed the 5th and 6th reviews under the EFF, unlocking about US$695 million. Despite external shocks, Sri Lanka’s economy has shown resilience. Read more: https://t.co/0OzwJpN1Hv

The Sri Lankan rupee is set to recover from its slide by the end of this year as oil prices are set to decline and as the central bank raises rates, according to BMI https://t.co/r9DrWcDYRG

@RealBBR_Mindset There are two ways to see this: if you had invested the same 1 lakh in Expo in the same 2020 period when it was in single digits, then you would have made a fortune by 2022. And if you had invested in CIC after the crash, then you would have still made the profit as described.😁

@Dinouk_C @IMFNews They did that during the rupee appreciation period also. When the rupee was appreciating from 280 to 250, they put a barrier around 280. During extremely volatile times, CBSL can intervene.

@Miracle_Island @MHMabu1964 The Indian population is 1.5 billion people, versus 22 million people in Sri Lanka. This has now decreased to 690 billion and is depleting due to the high import cost of gold and oil.

@nHiRanZ What happened last time was a "ditwah" cyclone hit. Now what is happening is monsoon rain. Understand the difference first.

The Sri Lankan rupee surged against the dollar, snapping a nine-day losing streak to become Asia’s best-performing currency on Friday https://t.co/WCzwcpW4kM

[Rogue19 @Garan0019]

@BuhardeenImtiaz Temporary surge due to high import cost of oil. Once a solution happens with the war, oil prices will come down and tourism will pick up. We may see the dollar come down to the 300 level.

[Rogue19 @Garan0019]

@BuduMalli RW fearless approach is the need of the hour.

[Rogue19 @Garan0019]

@chamihin Importing vehicles is perfectly fine, last year there was no issue with rupee depreciation cos stable fuel prices, tourism income, remittance was great...but now things have changed oil import costs have jumped from 90mn to 500mn. SL remins vulnerable to external shocks.

[Rogue19 @Garan0019]

@ShardhaSosa @rowmewan1 @DrBukkabwoi I thought gov might pause the vehicle import but it's good they didn't, instead they increased the tax for 3 months to control the import, even if anyone feel like paying a premium then gov gave that option as well. Its all about balancing the foreign reserves and tax revenue.

"We, India and Sri Lanka, do not coexist but grow together. Sri Lanka has been more than an island, but always an Idea. A bridge between civilisations, the ties between India and Sri Lanka were written in the footsteps," says Hanif Yusoof, Governor of the Western Province and Special Envoy of the President for Foreign Investment, Sri Lanka

@YRanaraja @OfficialSLC You should have told them this when they built a useless cricket ground in Hambantota while there is an international stadium nearby in Galle. Now no international cricket matches are being played there, However, the Northern or Eastern Province doesn't have any...

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes.
Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days!
