Economic Recovery and Spending
Discussion around Sri Lanka's fiscal position, including primary surplus data and potential economic challenges. Debates focus on sustainable economic growth and spending impacts.
Economists be like: "We've narrowed the deficit!" Meanwhile, the national budget is playing financial Jenga - one wrong move and this whole economic recovery looks like it'll topple faster than a drunk trying to walk a straight line. Deficit reduced? More like deficit defied!
