Under the guidance of the President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Government is successfully tackling the global COVID pandemic and building economic stability in the country, the Ministry of Finance said.

The National Accounts Estimates for the third quarter of 2020, released in the midst of re-opening the country after the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic have also revealed the figures numerically supporting the economic stability of the country, according to a statement released by the Finance Ministry.

According to the National Accounts Estimates Sri Lanka's agricultural sector grew by 4.3% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter last year. The fact that people's lives are returning to normal after the first wave of the Covid epidemic has positively contributed to this growth.
