“Urgency of State Owned Enterprise Reforms”
Sri Lanka’s State Owned Enterprises have placed a significant burden on public finances. They are also a major source of inefficiency to the economy. Therefore the present economic crisis along with Sri Lanka’s current debt crisis make SOE reforms a priority of national importance, to emerge from present economic challenges.
The event will commence with a 10-min presentation, analysing the performance of key State Owned Enterprises. Followed by statements made by Advocata’s Academic Chair Dr. Sarath Rajapatirana, Advocata’s Advisors Professor Rohan Samarajiva and Ms. Anarkali Moonesinghe on the need for SOE reforms, before opening the floor for a question and answer session with journalists and media. The event will be moderated by K D Vimanga and Sathya Karunarathne.
