Truly numbers to proud of 🇱🇰🙌🏾

[Yasas @Yasas101]

👤 GDP per capita: $3,818 → $5,003 (+31%)
🚀 Economic growth: -2% → +5%
💰 Inflation: 16.8% → 3.7%

@sanjiva @ECSriLanka @anuradisanayake It’s a very effective Two Factor Authenticator. Those in power have a love hate relationship with NICs 😂

🇬🇧 Revolving Door at Number 10:
6 PMs in 10 years. 

Populism on steroids from Brexit to the Truss mini-budget. 

GDP/Capita: ~$41.2k to ~$53.2k (2024)
Sluggish Growth 0.5-1.5%  🐢 [3/3]

[maheel dabarera 🇱🇰🇸🇪🇬🇧 @maheeldabarera]

The economy isn't an abstract equation; it relies entirely on the quality of governance.

When you treat Downing Street like a revolving door, investors flee, and wealth stagnates. 🇸🇪 proves that boring, predictable stability wins. [1/3]

[maheel dabarera 🇱🇰🇸🇪🇬🇧 @maheeldabarera]

🇸🇪 Just 3 PMs since 2016 (Löfven, Andersson, Kristersson). 

It’s not perfect: there's real populist friction below the surface, but the institutional framework held up. 

GDP/Capita: ~$51.7k to ~$68.5k (2026) 
Steady 2-3% growth because markets crave predictability. 💼 [2/3]

@AingkaranK Don't let him settle for a net bowler gig with @ChennaiIPL at the first opportunity. Hold out for the auction and wait for a real bid

@aruni_t I felt the same before I moved here. But it has changed for the worse over the last decade 🤷🏾‍♂️

@FredrikHjelm4 @hkanji @gabriel1 4. Treat open source AI as public infrastructure.

Open weight models may lag the frontier models, but a locally controlled AI stack provides strategic autonomy, data sovereignty, and resilience against potential foreign restrictions.

The day 🇳🇱 decides to build its own sovereign AI is the day 🇪🇺 wakes up.

@ASMLcompany builds the machine that builds the machine. It should be 🇪🇺 most guarded tech asset

If individual nations try to go solo without a unified 🇪🇺 approach , it’s the end #EuropeanTech

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@NUnl ASML should be treasured and supported. It is arguably the greatest company in Europe.

Glad Nationaldag 🇸🇪!

Jag kom till 🇸🇪 2016 till @chalmersuniv på scholarship från @SweInstitute. Jag visste bara @Ibra_official och @volvocars.

Idag skickar jag tusen tack till landet och alla fantastiska folk som välkomnade mig. Tack för att ni gav mig en chans 🙏🏾

Heja 🇸🇪!
