    The Sri Lankan economy has been in a free fall since 2010.

    Lankawe arthikaya loku pasumbamaka 2010 sita kadagena watena hati kauruth nodaunath wuwada, arthika wisheshanyayan, megena awabodayen sitiye e dawas wala wuwada, meweni pasubamaka kauda hituwe?

    In 2010 The USD was a mere 110 Sri lankan Rupees, it was pegged to the USD, and until 2013, when the peg was released it devalued to a total of 120-130.

    The LKR is in a free fall, has no economic stability, future for Children and no sovereign of our nations as we are debted in USD, and we have a massive debt, and the deficit of payments is unsatisfactory.

    As everybody is aware as the LKR falls, so does the economy, so does the livelihood of many poor citizens of this country, are we going to a era where we're supposedly another Zimbabwe, or Venezuela? There the economy is so bad, the once strong Venezuelan Bolivar backed by Oil Reserves, was diminished by the stupidity of it's government, and now they are printing 500,000 Bolivar notes.

    What someone saved lets say 1 million a decade ago which was worth back then, of an equivalent of USD 9,000, now is only valued at USD 5,000, even accounting to an annual interest of 10-14%, annually, he would have only sufficed to a maximum of 80%, whilst the Dollar has gained by nearly 100%.

    Very sad scene, as the one known and backed as liquid cash is now devalued to a certain level, and to specially see such a devaluation of 100% within 10 years is very questionable, where this country is headed.

    The LKR is the only underperforming currency in it's region, supposedly doing similarly with the Nigerian Naira, Burundi Francs, we're downgraded ourselves to be a failed state and economy that we are considered the lower than standard capitalized country with the lowest profits, where it's very unattractive for investors, investors would be profounded that there Dollars or Pounds would bring in so much value, but learn that as there local dividents are paid in LKR, the LKR would be very unattractive.

    paw ape minissu, avrudu keepayen keepayata 10000-20000kin wedi wena salary eka, mehema arthike, mehema budal ekakaya baldu unoth, kohomada e manussaya lamainta mokak hari deyak denne, kohomada eya ratakata gihin lankawe mokak hari deyak genne?

    Is the economy beyond repair?
    we have so many balances of payments, the outlook looks grim, if the economy gets a huge cash injection, like selling of the hambantota port on a 100 year lease etc, we might be able to stabilize, if we can see some sort of cash injections from China, currency swap, port city funding, we might be temporarily alright

    ජහපාලන කාලෙ රටේ ආර්තිකය විනාශ උනේ. දැන් අයිත් ගොඩ යාගෙන එන්නෙ. කොරෝන නිසයි පොඩ්ඩක් තාම පසු බෑමක් පෙන්නෙ
