Access Engineering calls for consistent policy, coherent taxation View(s):Access Engineering PLC (Access), after battling economic depression and volatility last year, is looking forward to sound policy and saner politicking. “If the country wants to achieve growth, we need to open the construction sector labour market. Mr. Perera stressed that if the private sector is to be the engine of growth, this sector should be profitable. So it’s important to realise that it is dangerous for the private sector growth to be totally dependent on debt. As a result, despite profits in 1Q19 dipping by nearly 39 per cent YoY, Access’ net earnings for 1HFY19 increased nearly 11 per cent YoY to Rs.995.6 million predominantly due to better performance in 2Q’19.
