🤔 Why should you take part in the budget?

😒 For too long, Sri Lanka’s national budgets have been one-sided: the government presents, and citizens react.

🫵 But this year, you’ll have the chance to shape the budget 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 it's presented. Verité Research is launching something exciting to make your voice count.

😎 Stay tuned!

Verité Research Sri Lanka calls its government and all others to forge a multilateral 'Cooperative Common Response' to the US tariff hike, to prevent further rupture to the rules-based order on trade in the world.

full @VeriteResearch statement below:

"The trade deficit related tariff hike by the United States creates a severe break from the rules-based global order on trade established through the World Trade Organisation (WTO), with the membership of 166 countries covering 98% of trade. A rules-based order, as it exists at present, even with its many weaknesses, fosters stability, and makes all countries better-off than the alternative of a free-for-all.

As countries line up to negotiate bilaterally with the United States on exceptional arrangements, to mitigate the individual country impact of the unilateral action, Verité Research in Sri Lanka is calling its government and the world to forge a multilateral approach instead. That is, for as many countries as possible to come together under the aegis of the WTO and forge a ‘Cooperative Common Response’, instead of defecting to act bilaterally and exacerbate the rupture to the existing rules-based order on trade in the world."

Sri Lanka and creditors reached agreement on the terms for a $12 billion bond restructuring, bringing the South Asian nation closer to completing its debt overhaul two years after it defaulted. https://t.co/sIbtRShiS1

I wrote this story 15 years ago (thanks to encouragement by ⁦⁦@sanjanah⁩) recalling 23July1983.
Will the “Aragalaya generation” purge #SriLanka of the toxic social attitudes and structures of politics & law enforcement, that created "black July"? https://t.co/t5ZFWn8cWY

@AsiaProgram Is there any option for Myanmar to be reorganized in terms of borders and boundaries? For example, is a smaller Myanmar more viable particularly with border regions autonomous or independent?

[Jesse Szeto @jjszeto]

@AsiaProgram Is Thailand a model for Myanmar in the sense that Thai military has an outsized role in the Thai government, intervening periodically? Eg perhaps a less fully democratic Myanmar with a specific role for the military could be a viable option as it had been for the last 10 years?
