Leader of the United National Party (UNP) MP Ranil Wickremesinghe speaking to Parliament today (10) pointed out that a monthly report revealing government debts must be tabled in Parliament. Accordingly, the UNP Leader urged the Public Finance Committee of Parliament to issue such a report on a monthly basis.
His request comes in upon his emphasis that Parliament should be made aware of the foreign reserves. The UNP Leader pointed out that such a dialogue can be made upon the submission of a monthly report of the aforementioned nature.
Wickremesinghe added that they learned that there were not even a billion dollars in foreign reserves at the moment and that the submission of a monthly report divulging government debts would lead to financial stability in the country.
