No one is speculating, it's the ground situation in Sri Lanka. The Government lost in 2018 and that was before the Easter Bombings and Gotabhaya made it official he intends to contest. Easter bombings sent the approval of the government plummeting and Gotabhaya is more popular among Sinhalese...
I highly doubt anyone would able to beat Gotabaya if he contests. His lack of popularity among Muslims and Tamils is more than made up by the support of Sinhalese. Catholics who tend to be 50:50 will most likely be overwhelmingly anti-government this time. Mangala have been picking fights with...
I have already named Singapore as an example
Sri Lanka has maintained high GDP growth since the war ended. The only thing you are doing is ranting about a drop in 2013 even though it quickly went upwards again. Hell the only thing you end up showing is that the Sri Lankan economy has shown to be...
What is "just talk"? You are humiliating yourself by trying to dismiss Sri Lankans long-term development plan which I showed you is going well "just talk".
The Southern Expressway extension to Hambantota is going to be Completed this year or January next year. Is that "Just Talk"?
The Port...

Yes we are going to obviously (duh) If you can't get the basic idea that connectivity promotes growth then you are really lacking in common sense.
Also Sri Lanka is improving connectivity with India by upgrading the Palaly Airport to allow short haul flights between India and Northern Province...
LOL Nope. Most of Sri Lanka has barely reached a quarter of their potential.
Sri Lanka is able to repay the loans and loans are taken for projects which will bring returns. Sri Lanka has adequate revenue to deal with the loans.
The idea behind the Central Expressway is to boost development of...
Yeah good luck when IMF prediction gets revised. Also IMF predicts higher that 4% anyway. Also no one actually looks at those, GDP growth predictions aren't even worth looking at if it goes beyond a year or two max. Too many factors that can't be calculated.
Sri Lanka's Businesses Confidence is...
IMF cannot predict the future and the predictions change. The current political situation will end with the elections and that will cause business confidence to increase also increasing FDI inflow
WTF That's totally meaningless. Our GDP growth fell because of the political crisis+series of natural disasters+terror attacks and also we are transitioning away from being reliant on infra development for GDP growth.
Sri Lanka has no issue in handling the debt this year and most of it has...
Why are you posting a news that was confirmed as fake by both Sri Lankan and Pakistani sides?
