The government is taking certain decisions that will adversely affect the country’s financial sector and State Owned Banks, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa told Parliament yesterday (9).
Raising a question under Standing Order 27 (2), the Opposition Leader Sajith Premdasa stated that, “The banking system makes a significant contribution to maintaining the financial stability of a country. Policy decisions taken by the government from time to time have a direct impact on the survival of the banking system and they affect the economy as a whole.
It appears that the present government is making decisions that will adversely affect the country’s financial sector and the banking system. It has been revealed that the state-owned banking system built on public money has provided unjust and unacceptable financial relief to government loyalists and cronies.”
