President Ranil Wickremesinghe said 2023 will be a critical year in which Sri Lanka was planning to turn around the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We must boldly implement the proposed social, economic and political reforms to build a prosperous and productive Sri Lanka in the coming decade,” he said in his New Year message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full messege<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are looking at the New Year 2023 after having undergone the bleakest of times, immense hardships, as well as the uncertainties and hopelessness of the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand the great burdens that are placed on all of us and the setbacks that a majority of us have suffered due to the country\u2019s abject economic collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet I believe that we have already gone through the worst of these times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sincerely appreciate all of you who are committed to our country first and I thank you for your patience and courage as we took the critical, initial steps to stabilise the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, 2023 will be a critical year in which we plan to turn around the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 is also the 75th year of independence from the British Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back, it is obvious that we have not done as well as other ex-colonies. This is why the youth of our country are calling for a system change – especially at this juncture. This cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we must boldly implement the proposed social, economic and political reforms to build a prosperous and productive Sri Lanka in the coming decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish all of you a happy and peaceful new year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
