CBSL Chief sets Manusha a target to boost foreign remittances

Date:

A special discussion to boost foreign remittances received to Sri Lanka has been held between Labour and Foreign Employment Minister Manusha Nanayakkara and Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe yesterday (21).

The CBSL Chief has set the Minister a target on foreign remittances, stating that if they could be increased up by US$ 500 million within a few months, the money could be allocated to supply petrol, diesel and medicines essential to the country.

Nanayakkara without hesitation has accepted the challenges of boosting foreign remittances to such a high level within three months, according to sources.
