    The Governor of the Central Bank Ajith Nivard Cabraal has said at a conference on Saturday that the Central Bank of Sri Lanka will release funds to purchase fuel for the remaining quarter of the year and this will increase dollar liquidity as the dependence on the dollar would be reduced.

    He said the ban on vehicle imports would be reviewed in December and the temporary import restrictions on several items would be gradually relaxed.

    However, he said the ban on vehicle imports would not be 100 percent lifted as there would be a surge of imports and a huge burden on the economy but it would be done systematically based on the behavior of the sector over time.

    You probably would have read this from me before.... There are only TWO kinds of oil in SriLanka.
    "Thala Thel" in the North and "Pol Thel" in the South.
    Don't believe other "Thel talk"..... :P

    Aye tourism ok wenna 2024 wath wenawa
    :rolleyes::yes: eka paratama suddo enna naha :rolleyes:

    International tourism is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels only by 2024, according to a report by global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company.

    Dr Kevin Cheong, executive director of Sentosa 4D AdventureLand (Singapore), said the road to recovery will be very bumpy.

    “The problem is how long will this take to reach a meaningful steady state of flow of tourists coming in. I don't see it in the next 12 to 18 months or even two to three years from now,” he said.

    For the whole of 2019, there were 19.1 million visitor arrivals in Singapore, which translated to about 52,000 visitors per day.

    I pass through Singapore Changi airport several times a year. During normal times I have seen their arrival count displayed usually around the 300,000 a day transiting through SIN.
    How many of these we are able to attract? What promotions does UL offer? OTOH Singapore Tourist Authority (STA) promotes visitors into Singapore. Even if you transit I usually get vouchers for a good meal from SQ. It's not a SQ voucher, but by STA.
    Appoint donkeys to run airlines and tourism you get nothing.... :(
