Sri Lanka’s economy, which is emerging from one of its worst crises in decades, is doing “remarkably well”, Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said on Monday (Jul 8). 

In an exclusive interview with CNA’s Asia First programme in Singapore, Minister Sabry noted that tourists are coming to the country, that its currency has strengthened, and that all the indicators are in the right place.

Speaking on Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring, the minister revealed that as Sri Lanka has almost regained debt sustainability it will enable access to the international market on concessionary loans, which is necessary for Sri Lanka to kickstart its economy.

“Sri Lanka is eyeing to receive more investment in various sectors in the country. Sri Lanka has attained stability from the economic crisis it faced but is yet to start its growth. At present, Sri Lanka’s focus is on getting back to growth to improve the living standards, income and salaries of the people,” he said.

There is a glimmer of hope for Sri Lanka at present, although it is not completely out of the woods yet, Foreign Minister Ali Sabry said commenting on the nation’s economic recovery process.

In an interview with Channel News Asia (CNA), Minister Sabry said Sri Lanka’s inflation is now under control, tourism has bounced back, and the country’s currency has also stabilised. 

He added that while there could be a further recession, some growth may be possible from next year onwards.

The Foreign Minister also expressed gratitude to the various multi-lateral agencies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and World Bank for helping with the necessary financial assistance.

Speaking on the debt restructuring process as a whole, Minister Sabry emphasised that the process should be one that is equal for all, with ‘a universal application of debt relief’.

He further highlighted the benefits of debt restructuring, adding that without it, Sri Lanka’s debts will no longer be sustainable, which will ultimately affect both investors and creditors as no proper investment will be made against such a backdrop.

Therefore, the Minister emphasised that the longer the restructuring process takes, the more adverse the impact will be on the investors and creditors.

“I know some tough negotiations are around the corner, but so far, the signs are encouraging from our friends, both bilateral and otherwise,” he added. (NewsWire)
