The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce announced that at its invitation, the four main presidential candidates have nominated their leading economic policy experts to participate in a debate, presenting each party’s economic policies and pledges, ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

To be held on August 29, at the BMICH, Shehan Semasinghe representing President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Dr. Harsha de Silva representing Sajith Premadasa, Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma representing Anura Kumara Dissanayake and Prof. Ranjith Bandara representing Namal Rajapaksa will participate in ‘Defining the Vision – The Debate’ hosted by the Ceylon Chamber.

The debate will be moderated by Ceylon Chamber of Commerce Chairman Duminda Hulangamuwa and Board Member Kasturi Chellaraja. 

To be conducted from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., it will commence with each representative presenting his key economic policies, followed by a moderated question and answer session that will delve into a critical analysis of each party’s economic vision. 

As Sri Lanka prepares for the upcoming presidential election, it is paramount that the voters are well-informed about the economic policies that will shape the future of our nation. 

This debate will serve as a premier platform for the leading political parties to present their economic visions and discuss the reforms they believe are essential for Sri Lanka’s progress. It will also create a space for insightful dialogue on the strategic direction Sri Lanka should pursue in the coming years.
