Prime Minister and Finance Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa presenting the second reading of the 2021 budget in Parliament this afternoon (17) said it is a development budget presented to elevate an economy that has been shattered.

The budget will cover all sectors under a macroeconomic vision aimed at fulfilling the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s “Vistas of Prosperity and Splendor”, the Prime Minister said emphasizing that the public sector should provide the necessary support in this regard.

“This is a budget that will open up numerous special investment opportunities to our business community for production of local goods and services under the competitive setting of the global economy. Producers of all scales should strive during the next 3 years to allow local economy to competitively enter to the global economy.”
