71 වසරක් කුනු වෙච්ච ලංකා දේශපාලනය පිලිබඳ සහෝදරයා නාට්‍යයේ කල විග්‍රහයක උපුටා ගත් කොටසක්

උපුටා ගැනීම

මේව උඩට පේන ප්‍රශ්න,
ඇත්ත ප්‍රශ්න මේව නෙමෙයි

මුන් මේ ජරා වැඩ ටික කර ගෙන යන්න කරපු ටික
ලියනවනම් අන්න ඒ ගැන ලියපන්

රණවිරු ගාය is a very serious condition and no one has it as bad as NR.

Never joined the military, allegedly cheated on his law exam, didn't feel an ounce of remorse when his fathers government dragged SF to jail for having the audacity to run against him plus he has a slappable face.... Could all be caused by said රණවිරු ගාය.

Anyway... Shani Abeysekara describes this condition better than I can.

Also... STFU Namal.

Sri Lanka Rejoins Upper-Middle-Income Status: World Bank Upgrade Signals Strong Recovery 🚀

🌟 Major Milestone: According to the World Bank's latest classification, Sri Lanka has once again been upgraded to an Upper-Middle-Income country based on GNI per capita.

📜 Historical Journey:
- Started as low-income in 1988.
- Rose to lower-middle in 1997.
- Briefly reached upper-middle in 2018 (for one year only).
- Reverted to lower-middle from 2019–2025.
- Now back in upper-middle for the latest update.

💵 Income Thresholds (in USD):
- Low-income: Up to 1,175
- Lower-middle: 1,176 – 4,635
- Upper-middle: 4,636 – 14,375
- High-income: Above 14,376

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka's Figures: World Bank estimates GNI per capita at $4,670. This narrow pass marks a significant achievement.

🌏 Global Context:
Out of 218 classified economies:
- 87 high-income
- 59 upper-middle (Sri Lanka🇱🇰 joins Vietnam🇻🇳, Philippines🇵🇭, Jordan🇯🇴, and Micronesia🇫🇲 in this upgrade)
- 47 lower-middle
- 25 low-income

🌐 World Bank Praise: The Bank highlighted Sri Lanka's remarkable resilience:

“Sri Lanka is a story of rising again from the ashes. After a severe economic crisis in 2022 that nearly collapsed the economy, within just three years, industry revival and growth in finance and tourism have driven 5% real GDP growth in 2025. Crossing the upper-middle threshold, even narrowly, symbolizes the country’s resilience.”
