Sri Lanka Targets Low Inflation, Higher Revenue and Stronger Reserves

Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says the government aims to maintain inflation below 5 percent as part of its broader economic stabilization plan. He noted that state revenue is expected to reach 16 percent of GDP by the end of the year, reflecting ongoing fiscal reforms.

The President also said the country’s official reserve assets are projected to rise to 7 billion US dollars within the year. Additionally, the government plans to introduce a State Enterprise Management Act in 2026 to improve the performance and oversight of state-owned enterprises.
