Sanity prevailed. No big shocks in the interim budget. But profit tax could be targeted in the 2023 appropriation bill.

Should @RW_UNP bring back the wealth tax that was abolished in 1992 after 34 years, implementation is going to be a challenge. The IRD is yet to recover some Rs. 800,000 in unpaid wealth taxes . Small amount, but big administrative headache. @advocatalk

Contrary to what estranged cousin Udayanga says, @GotabayaR will NOT return on August 24, 2022. But Gota told confidants that he is keen to escape the hotel prison in Bangkok and return to his wife’s Pangiriwatte Mw., home, possibly in the first week of next month.

. @IMFNews bailout is going to be trickier than thought. Language in latest statement suggests international creditors could holdup a deal. ISB holders want a haircut for domestic creditors too, a move @cbsl resists vehemently. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. @EranWick

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

Realisation has dawned on @CBSL governor Weerasinghe. Repatriation of export proceeds slowed after mandatory conversion gazette of March. Clear sign that tighter regulations are counter productive. Next, stop printing money and or raise rates on Thursday

[Ranga Sirilal @rangaba]

The Central Bank has withdrawn the mandatory requirement to convert service export receipts/proceeds that are received in Sri Lanka on or after 12th of August with the view of encouraging service exporters to repatriate their export proceeds into the country.

Captain Zhang Hongwang of the Yuan Wang 5 snubbed @ReAdSarath who tried to shake hands. Should have been warned not to extend a hand. The ex rear admiral was also denied entry to the ship. No professional courtesy?

The Daily Error is living up to its name. They regurgitate fake news of the defence ministry without even the most basic of checks. The ban on 6 Tamil organisations was NOT lifted according to the latest gazette. @Jamz5251 @Dailymirror_SL @sjayasiri

@KusumW @Jamz5251 @Dailymirror_SL @sjayasiri According to the defence ministry, it appears they had the intention, but did not do the paper work correctly. Therefore, the ban still remains.

On India's 75th Independence anniversary, the IHC in Colombo shares this video of cooperation with Sri Lanka. It also comes a day ahead of a visit to Hambantota of a Chinese "research" ship India accuses of spying. Indian navy's gift of a spy plane to SLAF should square things!?

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

@SriLankaTweet I wish media outlets verified the MOD claim before reporting inaccurate news. The MOD amended and repealed a wrong gazette. The lifting of the ban has not gone through. Check my previous tweets on this for details. @NewsfirstSL

@surendirans @BasnayakeM Gazette

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

@surendirans @BasnayakeM the defence ministry has amended and repealed the wrong Gazatte if the intention was to lift the proscription of the said six overseas Tamil organisations.

SL Def Min has revoked and replaced the wrong list of proscribed organisations. Kamal G should have replaced Gazette 2216/37 of Feb 25, 2021, but instead revoked gazette No.1992/25 of November 9, 2016. How incompetent can you get?

. @adaderana you got this wrong. the six Tamil organisation you say were de-proscribed are not in the Nov 9, 2016 gazette you refer to. Please check and report without misleading the public. here is a link to the 2016 gazetter: https://t.co/ox8yyud6Un

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

Def min sec Kamal G has got it horribly wrong. His gazette 2291/02 of Aug 1, 2022 repeals & replaces a list of banned entities published on Nov 9, 2016. The Tamil organisations such as GTF he claims to delist now have been off the list since Nov 20, 2015! @RW_UNP @adaderana

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

@Goshitha5 @rangaba Gift, but the second Dornier 288 will have to be bought at rates yet to be negotiated.

[Rohan Perera @rohanperera73]

This Dornier 228 surveillance aircraft of the Indian navy will be inducted to the Sri Lanka air force from August 15, 2022, a day before China's "research" vessel Yuan Wang 5 docks in at Hambantota. Indians will supervise the operation of the aircraft.
