SLECIC celebrates 25th anniversary The SLECIC celebrates its 25th anniversary at Hotel Colombo Plaza on March 18. The re-launching of its principal product is seen as the most appropriate event for commemoration. Re-visiting its oldest product was a long felt need since there were incompatibilities identified. It reviewed the Export Payments Insurance Policy and as a result the premium will be revised downwards, the coverage will be increased and the terms and conditions will be liberalised. This prime product of SLECIC will be re-launched on March 18 under the brand name of "Seller's risk". A new product under the brand name of CAT policy to cover catastrophic losses of exporters will also be launched on this occasion. SLECIC also plans to pay gratitude to its employees at this ceremony. JBIZ wants 25 minister cabinet The JBiz is of the opinion that the Sri Lanka's future Cabinets should consist of maximum of 25 ministers and 25 Deputy Ministers, making a total of 50 which represents 44 per cent of the 114 members required to form a government will be represented in the cabinet. The remaining members in the government and the opposition should be allocated to each ministry as members of Consultative and Advisory Committees, with equal members. It should be obligatory on the part of each minister to meet with his Consultative and Advisory Committee once a month to seek their guidance and advice in carrying out the functions of each particular ministry, a press release issued by the JBIZ stated. It is also necessary to decide on more or less permanent portfolios so that there is continuity in each ministry on a long term basis, thereby consolidating the activities of each ministry the message added. |
