    Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa today (29th September 2021) instructed the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka Ajith Nivard Cabraal to minimize current import restrictions as much as possible on non‐essential goods and equipment.

    The Prime Minister issued this directive considering the difficulties faced by entrepreneurs and the public due to the existing restrictions on imports of non‐essential goods and equipment.

    Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka Ajith Nivard Cabraal is expected to render suitable suggestions in this regard shortly.
