Dollar crisis over by April, Finance Minister promises Ruling Party MPs

Date:

Finance Minister guaranteed the Ruling Party MPs that the ongoing dollar crisis would be over by the month April, speaking at the discussion held with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) parliamentarians under the patronage of the President yesterday (23).

The country is currently suffering from a number of crises, the absence of fuel, LP gas, cement and milk due to obstructions on importation to name one, many of which are spawned by the huge dollar deficit, leading to endless public queues.

The Finance Minister stated that as soon as the dollar deficit is over, it would be possible to import enough fuel, gas and food items, thereby requesting his fellow MPs to have full confidence in him on the matter.
