The Joint Chambers yesterday welcomed the appointment of two experienced professionals to the posts of Governor, Central Bank and Secretary to the Ministry of Finance.
The Joint Chambers in a statement also extended their fullest cooperation to the new appointees in navigating the Sri Lankan economy out of its current predicament.
At the same time, the Joint Chambers believe that the immediate appointment of a Minister of Finance is critical to complete the country’s economic management team to prepare for the forthcoming discussions with IMF and the commencement of the long-delayed debt restructuring process. “Hence, we urge that a new appointment is finalised before the end of this week as a matter of utmost priority,” the statement added.
