KEY POINTS
· Sri Lanka has been facing economic turbulence since its pre-emptive default on its foreign debt obligations.
· Inflation has spiralled to over 50%, translating into higher food and fuel prices. Many families are surviving on one meal a day.
· Stabilising Sri Lanka’s economy could prove to be a major win for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘neighbourhood-first’ policy.
· Despite gaining benefits from commercial loans for Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects in Sri Lanka which has fuelled a ‘debt trap’ narrative, China faces a dilemma in bailing out Sri Lanka.
· It has to implement structural reforms to make the economy more open to trade and investment and allow market forces to determine resource allocation.
· This means reducing barriers to trade and investment, cutting red tape hampering business and privatising loss-making state-owned enterprises such as Sri Lankan Airlines and the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.
· It has to build national consensus on implementing the IMF programme and reforms by explaining that this is the only solution to the crisis.
· It has to restore the rule of law and enforce strong anti-corruption policies (including asset declarations for all parliamentarians and a strong anti-corruption office supported by the United Nations).
