The President is scheduled to present the 2027 Budget to Parliament tomorrow (November 12) afternoon in his capacity as Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development.

Secretary to the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, was also present during the review of the final Budget document.

According to the President’s Office, the government has achieved significant progress in several key sectors of the economy despite facing domestic and external challenges, including the Ditwah disaster and the Middle East crisis.

It said this progress was achieved through sound economic management and strict fiscal discipline.

The 2027 Budget aims to move Sri Lanka beyond economic stabilisation towards economic expansion and major development reforms.

The Budget includes Rs. 2 trillion in capital allocations to support the government’s plans for economic growth and transformative development.
