If the economic growth rate cannot be increased, this government is useless, and the government has stated that the economic growth rate in 2025 will be 3.5 percent and the economic growth rate in 2026 will be 3.1 percent, said MP Harsha de Silva.
If the economic growth rate is decreasing, there is no need for a government and the government’s economic model needs to be changed, he said.
He also said that the government is not ashamed to say that the economic growth rate is decreasing. He said that he will challenge all 159 members of the government for this.
If the current government is developing the country, he said that it should wait until 2075. He said that the economy stabilized, inflation decreased and interest rates decreased during the previous government.
The MP also said that the government is trapped in the International Monetary Fund. He further said that the next installment of the International Monetary Fund will be received only if the government increases the electricity tariff and that the government minister’s statement that the electricity tariff will not be increased is a ‘flat lie’.
