President's Chief of Staff and National Security Advisor (NSA) Sagala Ratnayaka said the country needs consistent policies that endure beyond changes in government.
Addressing the first rally in the “Victory through Unity” series, NSA Ratnayaka said that under President Ranil Wickremesinghe, efforts to stabilize the economy are underway and supporting these initiatives should be appreciated by everyone in the country.
"In the past, the rupee depreciated uncontrollably, leading to a higher cost of living and widespread queues for gas and oil, bringing the country to a standstill. In response, Ranil Wickremesinghe took on the challenge of moving the country forward, making difficult but necessary decisions for its future. Tax system reforms were initiated, and a program to revive the economy began with the support of the International Monetary Fund. The current government has been working to provide the required service for the people," he added.
