“The debt crisis created in this country by the Yahapalana Government has now reached a critical stage. The total Government debt which was Rs. 7.39 trillion at the time this Government came into power in January 2015 had skyrocketed to Rs. 12.64 trillion by the end of July 2019 – an increase of 71%. The high proportion of foreign currency commercial loans in the debt taken by the Yahapalana Government increases the risk to the country. The international ratings agency Moody’s issued a warning recently with regard to this matter. From January 2015 to date, this Government has taken a staggering $ 26 billion in foreign currency commercial loans through Sri Lanka development bonds, sovereign bonds, syndicated loans, currency swaps and the like.”
