Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa’s approach of seeking the assistance of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to solve the ongoing economic crisis must not be obstructed, said former Prime Minister and Leader of the United National Party (UNP) MP Ranil Wickremesinghe, speaking to a political discussion held in Puttalam two days (29) ago.
There is also the need of establishing a national policy framework with the contribution of all political parties against the ongoing economic crisis, the UNP Leader pointed out, adding that his IMF approach on three previous crisis situations, 1989, 2001 and 2015, did not make Sri Lanka liable to any unfavourable conditions at all.
The country, therefore, needs a long-term plan for its reestablishment, Wickremesinghe added.
