For years, the growth of the Economy of Sri Lanka was heavily reliant on huge public investments in infrastructure. Our traditional approaches to debt management will have to change to cope with new risks and structural and regulatory changes. Under the medium – term debt management strategy, the detailed strategies of government borrowings will be known in advance to the domestic and foreign debt portfolios.
