02 Dec - Inaugural session of the Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2020 held yesterday (01.12.2020)

At the Summit his Excellency the President Gotabaya Rajapaksa stated that the private sector must make bold investments that can potentially realize outstanding returns, instead of continually adopting conservative, low-risk strategies.

And also he said "With the Government as an enabler, the private sector must expand its role in the economy and it has often been pointed out that the private sector is the engine of growth. However, for the private sector to truly live up to this reputation, it must make bold investments that can potentially realize outstanding returns, instead of continually adopting conservative, low-risk strategies".

He made these remarks whilst addressing the Sri Lanka Economic Summit 2020 yesterday, which is being held virtually for the first time this year. The Summit is themed ‘Roadmap for Take-off: Driving a People Centric Economic Revival’.
