CHANGE POLICIES TO SURVIVE THE NEXT DECADE-DR. AHILAN KADIRGAMAR AT HYDEPARK WITH INDEEWARI AMUWATTE
<p>As the 2024 Presidential election approaches, ‘At HydePark with Indeewari Amuwatte' featured Dr. Ahilan Kadirgamar, Senior Lecturer from the University of Jaffna and a renowned expert on Sri Lanka's political economy, to explore the critical economic policies Sri Lanka must adopt to navigate the country’s worst economic crisis since independence. Dr. Kadirgamar discusses the root causes of the crisis, examining both domestic policy failures and the broader global economic conditions that have contributed to the current situation. He critiques the economic strategies of successive Sri Lankan governments and highlights the potential pitfalls of continuing down the same path without significant reforms. The conversation also touches on the controversial agreements with the IMF, questioning whether the conditions imposed are in the best interest of the Sri Lankan people. Dr. Kadirgamar advocates for a renegotiation of these agreements to ensure that the focus is on self-sufficiency and reducing social suffering, rather than austerity measures that could further cripple the economy. Looking to the future, Dr. Kadirgamar emphasizes the importance of prioritising health, education, and food security in the recovery process. He argued for a comprehensive restructuring of Sri Lanka's debt, warning against the risks of repeated defaults and stressing the need for policies that ensure long-term stability and growth.</p>

SRI LANKA IS STILL FINANCIALLY STRESSED -FRANZISKA OHNSORGE 'AT HYDE PARK WITH INDEEWARI AMUWATTE'
<p><br> Joining this week's episode of ‘At HydePark with Indeewari Amuwatte' the World Bank's Chief Economist for South Asia, Franziska Ohnsorge discussed key indicators outlined in the recent release of the Sri Lanka Development Update, titled "Bridge to Recovery”. She highlighted several positive developments, such as easing inflation, increased revenues due to new fiscal policies and a current account surplus for the first time in nearly fifty years. These gains have been supported by rising remittances and a resurgence in tourism. Also talking about the South Asia Development Update, Ohnsorge said that South Asia is poised to maintain its status as the world's fastest-growing region, largely propelled by India's robust economic expansion. However, this optimistic outlook masks underlying challenges. Many countries in the region still lag behind pre-pandemic growth levels, relying heavily on government spending. She added that in order to ensure more resilient and enduring growth, nations must implement policies that foster private investment and enhance employment opportunities.
