MP Hashim spells out the increase of poverty in Sri Lanka
"
“…by 2019…the poverty line[sic] of this country was 11%…it has grown to 25% by 2023. I believe it is more than that. But the World Bank has calculated that it is only 25%, which means that out of 22 million in this country, 5.5 million are poor.”
