By this action, the State Banks will lose Rs.75000 million, while the two State Commercial Banks alone will lose Rs. 57000 million, he added.Reduction of the interest in the current desperate economic situation in the country, Ravi Karunanayake explained is with an ulterior motive of the Govt. UNP has always been for reduction of the exorbitant rates of interest . But , the Govt. reducing the interest in the present economic climate will only aggravate the economic problems. But, the Govt. regardless of these hard facts has resorted to this action because of the impending elections .Karunanayake guaranteed , as the elections are over , and if this Govt. is in power , the rates of interest will shoot up to 25 % per annum. The Govt. which had all along stated that reduction of interest rates will be detrimental to the economy has now found it fit to bring it down to 8 to 12 % .. The State Banks will incur a loss of RS. 75000 million thereby.. These losses will have to be recouped from the already overburdened masses through tax, tariff and cost of living hikes. The Govt. has no other alternative, he pointed out. From every liter of fuel , the Govt. is extracting Rs. 83/- as taxes ruthlessly from the people .This being an election gundu , the Govt. has n’t thought of the losses the Banks will face. This is a maneuver of the Govt. to help its Mudalalis at the expense of the country’s interests , while not heeding the workers’ demands for salary increases; making cut backs on Samurdhi recipients; not providing jobs to so many unemployment graduates and strangulating the struggling masses by endless taxation and other burdens. Minister Miathripala Sirisena too had warned the people not to expect price reductions on consumer items from the Govt. If he does not want people to expect price reduction , what does he want them to expect ; is it Govt. corruption ? he asked.Just because the Govt. reduced the interest , can the people get loans easily from the Banks ?, he asked.The Govt. which is bankrupt in every sphere is also bankrupt of solutions to the nation’s problems. Only those who flatter the Govt. in all its bungles, corruption and malpractices are patriots. Others who expose them are traitors, according to Govt's theories. The Govt. has implemented so far 11 of 12 proposals of the UNP budget. In the circumstances, if the UNP gets the opportunity to introduce the next budget , people will be lucky , he concluded.                                                                                      <a href="http://www.lankaenews.com/English/news.php?id=8575" target="_blank">len</a>Rs 75000 million loss = Rs 75 Billion loss <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" />salli gahanawa <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" />salli bedanawa <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/dull.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dull:" title="Dull    :dull:" data-shortname=":dull:" /></blockquote>
