Q: The Sri Lankan government recently announced a new five-year development plan. What kind of development do you envision for the country?
A: The necessity for a new development plan arose from the fact that we inherited a very troubled economy two years ago. Since then, we have consolidated the economy and introduced fiscal discipline. In the process, we looked at the [gaps] in the system. There are certain corrective actions that need to be taken and that’s what we put forward in the development plan.
