“This was due mainly to higher defence related
expenditure to battle the Tamil separatist war in the north and the east of the country
and lower tax revenues.

the “optimal rate.”
“Sri Lanka is already a high inflation country. A
high budget deficit, high inflation and high interest rates discourage private
investment and slow down economic expansion. There is an urgent need to bring down fiscal
deficit reduction program back to track”.
