<ul><li>Over $ 1.3 b in inflows expected from IMF, ADB, WB in coming months</li></ul> Sri Lanka is currently facing no internal economic crisis and the US Dollar has stabilised at around Rs. 330, Deputy Minister of Finance Anil Jayantha Fernando said on Friday (22).&nbsp;Addressing a media briefing alongside Deputy Minister of Economic Development U.D. Nishantha Jayaweera, Fernando dismissed widespread concerns that the national economy was inching towards collapse.“I can definitely say there is no internal economic crisis in Sri Lanka, and we are moving forward with stability. We can be affected by external global shocks, as everyone gets affected by a world war, but internally there is no crisis,” the Deputy Finance Minister asserted.&nbsp;He was responding to recent concerns as global shocks and domestic policy adjustments sparked renewed anxiety. Fluctuations in the exchange rate, alongside the phased relaxation of the prolonged vehicle import ban, have raised public concerns regarding a potential return to economic instability.&nbsp;On Friday, the official Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) indicative spot exchange rate for the US Dollar was Rs. 329.63. Across major commercial banks, the Telegraphic Transfer (TT) buying rate stood at around Rs. 342.63, while the TT selling rate was approximately Rs. 354.03.Fernando emphasised that the economic climate at present was vastly different from the historic crisis experienced four years ago.&nbsp;“First, I must state that the dollar appreciation and rupee depreciation in 2022 and the current situation are like the sky and the earth; they are two entirely disconnected situations. In 2022, the country was destroyed, and the exchange rate reflected that bankruptcy. But the current situation is not like that.&nbsp;“Looking at 2025 and moving into 2026, history has recorded 2025 as the most stable year in terms of economic stabilisation, progress, and macroeconomic stability,” Fernando said.He attributed recent pressure on the exchange rate to external global factors, including war conditions in the Middle East that had inflated the costs of oil, shipping, and insurance. Fernando acknowledged that the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) had experienced a significant increase in its fuel import bill, which briefly pushed the exchange rate upwards.“Now I have good news for the country. The mid-rate of the inter-bank foreign exchange market, which was around Rs. 350 yesterday, has come down to Rs. 330. The bidding rate asked by buyers is Rs. 327, and sellers are ready to sell at Rs. 332, making the mid-rate Rs. 330. People who love the country will see this as good news, but for a few opportunists, it is a blow to their business,” he added.&nbsp;The Deputy Minister also took the opportunity to correct circulating misinformation regarding a massive influx of vehicle imports draining the country’s foreign reserves.“On 15 May, we announced a structured surcharge for vehicle imports as an alternative policy, not a complete restriction, but false rumours spread that vehicle prices had gone up by 50%. Rumours claimed 4,000 vehicles were brought in, with 3,500 going to one company. I state responsibly that exactly 1,782 vehicles were brought in on 15 May. This is official data provided by the Finance Ministry and the banking sector,” he claimed.“On 27 May, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Board of Directors is set to release two tranches at once. We have strong confidence that we will receive that $ 700 million. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide about $ 480 million this year, and the World Bank will provide about $ 150 million by late June, alongside another $ 50 million from related institutions,” the Deputy Minister said.

No internal economic crisis: Anil Jayantha 

<ul><li>Speaker tells Opposition earlier debate must be arranged through PM</li></ul> The Opposition has requested an urgent parliamentary debate on the ongoing rupee depreciation and broader economic concerns, warning that the country is once again facing serious signs of economic hardship.The request was made during a meeting of several Opposition party leaders in Parliament, chaired by Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne.Chief Opposition Whip Gayantha Karunatilleka told The Sunday Morning that the Opposition had requested the debate due to growing public anxiety regarding the economy and the lack of clarity surrounding the Government’s response to the current currency situation.“Usually, a party leaders’ meeting is held to discuss the upcoming parliamentary week, but such a meeting was not scheduled this time. We questioned this in Parliament today (22) and requested that an opportunity be provided for a meeting of party leaders. Consequently, a meeting of recognised party leaders was held under the chairmanship of the Speaker,” Karunatilleka said.“During the meeting, we made a request emphasising that, given the current situation in the country, the public is anxious to understand the vision and the measures being taken, particularly regarding the economy. Although the next parliamentary week is scheduled to begin on 9 June, we requested that a debate be held before then, possibly immediately after the Vesak holiday.”Karunatilleka said that the Speaker had informed party leaders that Parliament had already been adjourned and that an earlier sitting would have to be convened through the Prime Minister.“We have formally submitted the request from the Opposition parties to the Speaker to take necessary action. Deputy Minister Sunil Watagala was also present and was tasked with coordinating this matter with the Government,” he added.He said that while not every Opposition party had been present at the meeting, several Opposition MPs representing different political viewpoints had attended collectively to make the request.Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, in a post on X, stated that the rupee was under tremendous pressure at present and claimed there were no clear answers or plans to address the situation.He further stated that immediate action was needed before the situation worsened and warned that the rapid depreciation of the rupee, rising cost pressures, and growing uncertainty could not be treated as partisan issues.Premadasa also called on President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to convene an all-party conference immediately in order to develop urgent national solutions before the situation escalated further.

<ul><li>2 more being repaired; pipelines need fixing</li><li>Pipeline tender expected next month</li><li>Full project targeted for completion within 18 months</li></ul> While the refurbishment of two oil tanks at the Trincomalee Oil Tank Farm has concluded, they cannot be utilised yet due to unfinished pipeline connections and supporting infrastructure, according to Deputy Minister of Energy Arkam Ilyas.“At the Trincomalee oil tank complex, work began on four tanks, and two have been completed. We still cannot fill them with oil because the relevant pipeline system is not finished,” Ilyas said, during the Annual General Meeting of the Ceylon Petroleum Common Service Union (CPCSU).Ilyas further noted that concurrent plans were underway to double the capacity of the Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery to 100,000 barrels a day.&nbsp;Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Managing Director Dr. Mayura Neththikumarage confirmed to The Sunday Morning that the tank renovation projects were funded and that they were now moving towards the procurement phase.“The tender is yet to be published, but everything is ready. It is expected to be finished within 18 months. There are no issues, as the funding is secured. The documents are ready, and it will likely be published by the middle of next month. The entire pipeline and new jetty currently under construction will be connected to all 85 tanks. This includes 61 tanks for Trinco Petroleum Terminal Ltd. and 24 for the CPC. The entire complex will be developed,” Dr. Neththikumarage explained.Beyond storage, the Government is looking to expand local refining capabilities to reduce import dependency, particularly for higher-grade fuels.&nbsp;“The Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery can currently process 50,000 barrels a day. We have started an expansion project to increase that capacity to 100,000 barrels. We called for proposals, and a large number of investors have stepped forward and are ready. Even today, we cannot refine octane 95; we can only refine octane 92. Therefore, we have initiated a programme to increase our refining efficiency and capacity,” Ilyas explained.&nbsp;Dr. Neththikumarage noted that the refinery expansion project operated on a Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) model and would take several years to physically construct.&nbsp;“The Expression of Interest (EOI) stage is finished, and a couple of parties have been selected. We are currently finalising the Request for Proposal (RFP), which is almost complete. Next week, there will be meetings to finalise the documents. Once done, it is simply a matter of approval and publication. The investors will build and run the refinery, but the CPC will own it. The refinery construction will take around four years, and until then, the current refinery will remain operational, producing octane 92 and normal auto diesel. After four years, its capacity will be doubled,” Dr. Neththikumarage stated.&nbsp;In conjunction with refining capabilities, the State is also attempting to mitigate sudden supply shocks by establishing a permanent buffer stock, a protective measure that Ilyas admitted the country previously lacked.“We are able to store fuel for a maximum period of only one to one-and-a-half months. These are not tanks kept in reserve; they are in active use. This means we have to bring in the next ship and fill them as the current stock depletes. Therefore, we previously had absolutely no buffer stock. We have now started a project to build one and we believe that once it is completed, we will achieve better stability,” Ilyas observed.&nbsp;According to Dr. Neththikumarage, the State has allocated Rs. 32 billion for this capacity development, utilising empty tanks in Muthurajawela and Kolonnawa. While the buffer stock will not shield the country from global oil price fluctuations, it will lower logistical expenses.&nbsp;“Once we have bigger stocks, we can order larger volumes at a time. When we place larger orders, the premiums, shipping charges, and related costs will normally be reduced. That reduction will apply across the board,” Dr. Neththikumarage explained.&nbsp;

<ul><li>Govt. prepared to act on RTI amendments if media seeks stronger commission: Dep. Min.&nbsp;</li></ul> Alleged plans to amend the Right to Information (RTI) Act have triggered growing concern among media organisations and civil society groups, amid fears that proposed changes could weaken the RTI framework and undermine the independence of the RTI Commission.&nbsp;The controversy emerged following a meeting held last week between media organisations and Deputy Minister of Mass Media Dr. Kaushalya Ariyarathne, during which discussions reportedly centred on broader media policy matters alongside possible amendments to the RTI Act.&nbsp;The Sri Lanka Working Journalists Association (SLWJA) subsequently issued a strongly worded statement, warning that any attempt to restrict public access to information would be met with a major protest campaign involving civil society groups and media organisations.&nbsp;According to the SLWJA, the Government appeared to be attempting to weaken the RTI Commission under the guise of amending the RTI Act No.12 of 2016. The association claimed that the move could gradually cripple the commission and push it towards institutional collapse.&nbsp;The association further alleged that the RTI Commission was already facing a severe operational crisis, including staff shortages, a lack of legal experts to prepare directives and judgments, and delays in decision-making due to the absence of the commission’s full five-member composition.&nbsp;It also warned that Government institutions were increasingly showing less regard for the commission’s authority, raising concerns that public institutions could eventually stop cooperating altogether. The association further alleged that information requested from the Presidential Secretariat was being withheld, forcing citizens and journalists to pursue legal action to obtain it.A media representative who participated in the discussion and spoke to The Sunday Morning on condition of anonymity said concerns had also been raised regarding the expertise of commissioners appointed to the commission.&nbsp;The representative noted that previous commissioners largely came from legal backgrounds, whereas there were fears that future appointments from civil society may not possess sufficient legal expertise to draft detailed directives and judgments.&nbsp;The representative also highlighted difficulties in attracting qualified individuals to the commission due to low remuneration and restrictions preventing commissioners from engaging in other professional work while serving in office. Commissioners reportedly receive between Rs. 80,000 and Rs. 90,000 monthly despite the rising cost of living.&nbsp;Although the Government had reportedly proposed amending the act to increase commissioner remuneration in line with other commissions, concerns were raised that reopening the legislation could create opportunities to dilute the powers of the RTI framework.&nbsp;“There is a fear that once the act is opened, even for salaries, space is created for weakening the law,” the representative said, adding that many public authorities remained resistant to the RTI framework due to the obligations imposed on them to disclose information.&nbsp;Concerns were also raised regarding possible conflicts between the RTI Act and newer legislation, including the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Participants reportedly suggested that instead of amending the RTI law, authorities should focus on proactive disclosure mechanisms and digital systems that could reduce the workload of public authorities and improve public access to information.&nbsp;However, Dr. Ariyarathne strongly denied allegations that the Government intended to curtail the right to information or weaken the RTI Commission.&nbsp;Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (20), Dr. Ariyarathne said that recent discussions with media representatives had primarily focused on the development of a National Media Policy, which she argued was necessary to strengthen media freedom and media rights protections.&nbsp;She said that while the RTI Commission had faced operational challenges during its decade of existence – including staff shortages and infrastructure issues – the Government was already taking steps to address them by recruiting new officers and digitising the RTI application process to allow applicants to track requests online.The Deputy Minister further said that a new commissioner had already been appointed and that the Government was exploring ‘proactive disclosure’ methods through technology to release information before formal requests were even made.&nbsp;“If the media community or civil society requests legal amendments to further strengthen the RTI Commission after its decade of operation, the Government is prepared to act. This is what I said during the meeting,” she said.&nbsp;Dr. Ariyarathne also accused certain organisations of spreading misinformation regarding the Government’s intentions, suggesting some groups were facing an ‘identity crisis’ because the current administration had moved away from an era associated with media repression and violence.&nbsp;Meanwhile, award-winning journalist and RTI activist Rahul Samantha Hettiarachchi also raised concerns regarding the deteriorating condition of the RTI framework, warning that although the right to information still formally existed, the institutions responsible for protecting that right were becoming increasingly ineffective.

<ul><li>Requests currently undergoing house-to-house verification</li><li>Allocations may be revised if economic conditions worsen</li></ul> The Government has set a deadline for the conclusion of the comprehensive recertification process planned for an estimated three million applicants for the ‘Aswesuma’ welfare programme by the end of June, Minister of Rural Development, Social Security, and Community Empowerment Dr. Upali Pannilage said.Speaking to The Sunday Morning, Pannilage said that three million requests for recertification had been received and were undergoing rigorous verification at the ground level across the country at present.Addressing the immediate timeline and the verification procedure, Pannilage said: “The only mandatory task at present is the ‘Aswesuma’ recertification. Three million recertification requests have been made and are currently being verified by grama niladharis, who are conducting house-to-house checks. This initial verification must be completed by the end of June. Subsequently, there will be a separate process for appeals, which is currently ongoing.”The ground-level checks will be followed by an extensive appeals phase to ensure fairness and accuracy in the distribution of welfare funds. This subsequent phase is expected to take several months before a final, formalised welfare system is presented to Parliament for approval.Detailing the long-term timeline for the finalised welfare list, Pannilage noted: “Following the recertification, selection of a new group of beneficiaries, and appeals process, it will take approximately three additional months from June to finalise. Thereafter, the finalised framework may be gazetted and presented to Parliament to be established as a new system.”Meanwhile, the Government is actively monitoring the impact of recent price volatility, inflation, and dollar fluctuations on vulnerable communities.&nbsp;Deputy Minister of Rural Development, Social Security, and Community Empowerment Wasantha Piyathissa acknowledged the rising cost of living and stated that authorities were considering adjustments to existing welfare schemes to provide adequate economic relief.“This is a situation occurring globally. Along with the rise in global oil prices, the cost of all commodities has increased. Consequently, when import expenditures continue as before, our dollar reserves naturally deplete. As reserves deplete, the dollar strengthens and the rupee depreciates to some extent.&nbsp;“Currently, a significantly larger amount of dollars is spent on oil imports; whereas we previously spent $ 196 million, we now spend over $ 500 million per month. This is the reality of the situation. However, we will not allow this to escalate into another economic collapse like we experienced in the past.&nbsp;“Even at present, we maintain $ 7 billion in national reserves. Although dollar liquidity in the banking system has declined slightly, our reserves remain stable, with daily inflows continuing,” he said.Speaking on the direct impact on welfare beneficiaries and potential financial adjustments to match inflation, Piyathissa noted: “It is true that the prices of imported goods and transport costs have increased. However, when it comes to welfare, we are prepared to reconsider and adjust the allocations. We are committed to protecting vulnerable categories as much as possible. For instance, the Government subsidises electricity so that tariffs do not increase for 95% of the population.&nbsp;“We view providing welfare as a means of protecting our citizens. We have enhanced welfare benefits on several previous occasions, and if necessary, we can do so again. For now, this remains at the discussion stage, and a final decision has not been made yet. We are staying highly vigilant. If a critical situation arises where we must increase welfare disbursements, we still have adequate financial reserves in rupees to allocate the necessary funds. We are monitoring the situation closely, but it has not yet reached a crisis level.”Currently, the ‘Aswesuma’ welfare programme provides financial assistance to approximately 1.72 million families across Sri Lanka, which translates to roughly 4.9 million people or about 22% of the country’s total population.&nbsp;

<ul><li>Hospital facing 10-month waiting list as spare parts await clearance</li></ul> MRI services at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children (LRH) have been disrupted since 21 April due to a breakdown of the hospital’s MRI machine, prompting concerns over delays in paediatric diagnostic services, with the hospital facing a waiting list of around 10 months for MRI scans.Government Radiological Technologists’ Association President Chanaka Dharmawickrama claimed that although the spare parts needed to repair the machine had already arrived in Sri Lanka, they were being held at Customs pending approval from the National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA).Speaking on the matter, LRH Deputy Director Dr. H.S.J. Senapathi said that the ministry had already provided the relevant documentation to the NMRA, and discussions had taken place regarding the approval process.Dr. Senapathi told The Sunday Morning that, as of Friday (22), the NMRA had provided the required documentation to Customs, and the spare parts for the MRI machine were expected to be cleared shortly.“All the documentation from the NMRA has been submitted. We were informed that the parts were most likely to be cleared by this evening. Once they are received, we might be able to complete the repairs within a day or two, if that’s all that is needed,” he said.However, Dr. Senapathi confirmed that the hospital’s MRI machine was still not operational at the time of inquiry on Friday.“This MRI machine was installed around 2013. It has been 13 years, and it has reached its end of support. The company no longer supports this machine, so we have to purchase parts to support the machine and obtain special approval from the NMRA to get them installed,” he explained.He said that the hospital was in urgent need of a new MRI machine and that requests for a replacement had already been made, but financial constraints were delaying the process.LRH is currently Sri Lanka’s only specialised children’s hospital capable of conducting paediatric MRI scans, including scans requiring anaesthesia for younger children. Concerns have been raised regarding delays in diagnosis and treatment for affected patients, with the MRI scanner inoperational. Obtaining a paediatric MRI scan in the private sector remains highly expensive for families seeking urgent medical care.

<ul><li>Global agencies warn event could become one of the strongest in decades</li></ul> El Niño conditions are expected to emerge in the coming months, with the Meteorology Department warning that a strong El Niño event could disrupt monsoon wind patterns and reduce rainfall in several parts of Sri Lanka.Preethika Jayakody, a meteorologist at the Department of Meteorology specialising in climatology and climate change studies, said that although no El Niño condition was currently present, forecasts indicated that conditions were likely to develop after June.“There is around a 62% probability of El Niño developing during the June–August period,” she warned.Jayakody told The Sunday Morning that if a strong El Niño condition were to emerge, it could affect monsoon wind patterns and rainfall distribution in certain regions of the country.&nbsp;“If there is a strong El Niño condition, our monsoon wind pattern will be broken, leading to below-normal rainfall in the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya Districts,” she said.&nbsp;However, Jayakody noted that there were currently no major concerns regarding drought conditions later this year, as the southwestern parts of the country were expected to receive rainfall through the southwest monsoon in May. She also stated that forecasts would be continuously updated with the availability of new climate data.&nbsp;According to the Meteorology Department’s latest forecast, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-neutral conditions are currently prevailing over the equatorial Pacific Ocean and are expected to continue through May to July, with approximately a 55% probability.&nbsp;The department stated that El Niño conditions were expected to emerge during the June–August period and persist at least until the end of the year.&nbsp;As ENSO conditions strongly influence rainfall variability over South Asia and Sri Lanka, the evolution of El Niño conditions will be closely monitored throughout the season.&nbsp;The forecast had been developed using outputs from global climate prediction models together with assessments of prevailing large-scale oceanic and atmospheric conditions over the Pacific and Indian Oceans.&nbsp;Meanwhile, neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are currently prevailing over the Indian Ocean. The Meteorology Department stated that it would continue monitoring changes in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions in the Indian Ocean, as the IOD remained one of the major climate drivers affecting Sri Lanka’s monsoon rainfall.&nbsp;According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates, there is about an 80% chance of El Niño developing by July.&nbsp;Sea temperatures in key El Niño zones of the equatorial Pacific are rapidly rising, while an enormous pool of abnormally warm water is building beneath the surface. Several leading weather agencies have predicted that Pacific temperatures could surge 2.5°C or more above average later this year – exceptionally high projections.&nbsp;Only three El Niño events – in 1982/’83, 1997/’98, and 2015/’16 – have breached 2°C since the first major El Niño recorded in the modern era in 1877/’78.&nbsp;UK Met Office Head – Monthly to Decadal Prediction Adam Scaife said this El Niño could become the strongest in decades or “even be of record strength”.&nbsp;– By Danara Kulathilaka

The passing of David Buell Sabapathy Jeyaraj (72) last Sunday in Toronto, Canada has snatched away a great personality not only from the field of journalism but also from the Tamil community. Rather than saying his loss is irreplaceable, it must be said that it is a void that definitely needs to be filled. The Tamil community is in need of a journalist like him once again.Jeyaraj was as deeply loved on one hand as he was disliked on the other. The reason for this was his courage to speak out in the public sphere, openly and without concealment, whatever he felt was right. People viewed Jeyaraj based entirely on their own political beliefs. However, it cannot be said that he ever worried about how others perceived him.He dedicated his life to analysing and writing fearlessly, and to recording all the complex dimensions of Sri Lankan politics – especially Tamil politics – as they unfolded. For several decades, he stood as a majestic and towering figure in the field of political analysis, not just in Sri Lanka, but across South Asia.Jeyaraj’s writings serve not merely as contemporary reports, but as essential historical documents. Because of his unparalleled ability to untangle and explain complex geopolitical issues, regional conflicts, and domestic power dynamics, his analytical columns were, for a long time, considered mandatory reading by everyone – including political leaders, diplomats, scholars, and ordinary citizens.In a Sri Lankan society that is deeply polarised along ethnic lines, Jeyaraj’s work was anchored in precise fact-checking, a profound memory, transparency, and an unwavering commitment.The tribute we pay to Jeyaraj upon his passing is a grand honour offered to the life’s work of a journalist defined by intellectual courage and precise narration.Jeyaraj’s pen did not merely record the trends of history; it helped us understand the very depths from which those trends emerged.For journalists, writers, observers, and future generations who believe that the true duty of the media is to speak truth to power and to voice opposition against injustice with clarity, dignity, and unyielding integrity, Jeyaraj’s contribution to journalism will remain an everlasting guiding light.Deepest condolences to his grieving wife and family members.
