Finance Minister Rajapaksa to table amended budget ahead of Sinhala-Tamil New Year

Date:

The government will be providing relief to the people for the upcoming Sinhala and Tamil New Year festive season said Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa.

Accordingly, the relevant measures will be taken in the next few days and it will be possible to curb the pressure exerted on the public to a certain extent, he noted.

The Finance Minister is set to table an amended budget in this regard and the budget will be tabled ahead of the festive season if the government and the Cabinet approve it.

Addressing the All Party Conference convened by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa today (23) the United National Party (UNP) and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) urged that the budget tabled in Parliament this year be amended or relief be provided to the people. The Finance Minister responded that he could agree to the request.
