Economic Development Deputy Minister Dr. Anil Jayantha Fernando says capital market performs public duty
-
LABOUR Minister and Economic Development Deputy Minister Dr. Anil Jayantha Fernando yesterday said capital market reforms will be central to raising investments and driving Sri Lanka's next growth phase.
Speaking at the launch of the Securities and Exchange Commission's “12 Pillars, One Vision” program to transform the capital market, Dr. Fernando said stabilisation alone would not deliver sustainable growth.
"The next take-off is nothing but investment. Without investment, we can't expect growth," he told the gathering, stressing the importance of quality capital formation.
