COLOMBO (News 1st) – The General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, Sagara Kariyawasam said that the SLPP will not support the proposed 22nd constitutional amendment if it is the 19th amendment being restored for the needs of a single person.If the 19th amendment is being reinstated for the needs of a single person, it creates a questionable situation, Kariyawasam said, adding that there is suspicion whether some parties aim to lead the country to an anarchic situation by bringing forward the relevant amendment.He further alleged that bringing the 19th amendment would only give rise to separatism within the nation."At this time, people are not asking for a constitutional amendment, so if they are bringing this forward to satisfy the needs of someone else, I think there will be a big public uprising against this move," he added.

Sri Lanka central bank to hold rates as inflation worries persist

(Reuters) – Sri Lanka's central bank is likely to maintain interest rates on Thursday in an effort to get a grip on inflation which has remained stubbornly high despite a sharp contraction in the crisis-hit economy.Nine out of 14 economists and analysts polled by Reuters said they expect rates to remain unchanged as the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) waits for the effects of its earlier hikes to filter through to the economy and for inflation to stabilise as the economy cools."The pace of inflation appears to be slowing but it is also largely cost push inflation caused by depreciation and global commodity prices, which a rate hike would have limited impact on," said Dimantha Mathew, head of research for Colombo-based investment firm First Capital.The CBSL has raised rates by a record 950 basis points this year to battle high inflation which is adding to the country's economic woes.However, inflation has remained high, hitting a record peak of 68.9% in September with food inflation climbing to 93.7%.Sri Lanka's economy shrank 8.4% in the quarter through June from a year ago in one of the steepest declines seen in a three-month period, amid fertilizer and fuel shortages.
