Central Bank Governor, Dr. Indrajit Coomaraswamy yesterday said, Sri Lanka should maintain tight financial discipline over the next few years to strengthen the country’s financial situation and take the country forward as the Easter Sunday bomb attacks have already taken its toll on the economy. However, he said but Sri Lanka has been able to manage the negative impact in the aftermath of the attacks.
The governor was speaking at the Sri Lanka Forward: CIMA-Acclivity-Leo Burnett Forum on Business revival post-terror attacks at the CIMA auditorium yesterday.
Furthermore, the revenue projection from tourism was around USD 5 billion for 2019; but with the issues following the Easter Sunday attacks it will come down to around USD 1.3 billion.
