Colombo, June 23 (Daily Mirror) - It is the rating agencies that should announce that a nation has come out of bankruptcy, SJB MP Harsha De Silva said today.

“We have heard that President Ranil Wickremesinghe is to announce that Sri Lanka had come out of bankruptcy.
However, it is the rating agencies which have to accept and announce that Sri Lanka has come out of bankruptcy. Sri Lanka has to have triple c rating to come out of bankruptcy.
Besides, Sri Lanka has not reached an agreement with ISB holders. Therefore, how can one say our country has come out of bankruptcy?” he questioned.

IMF has clearly stated that thel ageement with all the stake holders is eminent. With that the credit ratings would go up. So it is inevitable. All that has been achieved without any help from people like Harsha. He is becoming a politician lwithout any substance, calibre

A sharp pang of jealousy. May be he is feeling insecure after telling his leader that it could not be done. No wonder SP leanlng towards Godahewa.

This has no relevancy what so ever for the man in the streets. 80 percen of the population lives in misery,struggling to buy the most essential to lead their life. The bankruptcy is over when the ordinary man goes to buy his needs and feel that his money is sufficient to fulfill his most essential needs. Ranil can light crackers with his cronies and eat kiribath but on the day of the election he will realize that he became a fool rather than the people of this country.

Our Ranil is now suffering from senile decay due to old age. So his utterances the people must disregard. I invite Ranil to complete a Cognitive Impairment test before contesting for Presidency

I have come across the book titled "Criminal History of Ranil Wickremasinghe 1977-1997" book authored by Nandana Weeraratne in Amazon.com I can't trust Ranil for what he says

When it comes to Sri Lanka, president is the rating agency.

This guy has become SJB's boogyman. All along it was predictions that the country would not pass the IMF reviews and assessments. All failed to come true and he ended up eating humble pie. He should not compromise his standing merely to please his boss SP and parrot doom and gloom. We all know that interested opposition political parties thrive on doom and gloom. He should rise above that and maintain his professionalism - whatever remains of it.

Yes, but bankruptcy was declared by government officers not by rating agencies. Rating agencies just degraded artificially.

Ranil make up lies to keep himself in power Monday, 24 June 2024 10:13 AM

MP Harsha doesn't often make a good point, but for once pointing out about the fact it is external parties who decide Sri Lanka future about the bankruptcy not Sri Lanka President is great.

Stfu. U are a failure. At least Ranil got the country back on track, after the imbecile gobs made a mess of the country with his pakamaga idiots.

Sri Lanka will never come out of bankruptcy for another 2 decades or even more. The president could be felicitated if he could write off at least about a 50% our debts. So is he trying to harp about of what he has done.
