Daily FT
|September 17, 2025
VERITÉ Research yesterday launched the 'Budget Proposal Hub' a first of its kind trilingual platform that empowers people to participate in the national Budget process by submitting proposals for the consideration of Parliament; as well as by voting on proposals.

The think tank said that Sri Lanka has lacked effective and convenient channels for public participation in the Budget process. In the Open Budget Survey 2023, Sri Lanka had the lowest participation score in a decade, and ranked 82nd out of 125 countries.

Trump's deceptive peace plan
GIVE the devil its due, they say. Donald Trump deserves a few words of praise, at least, for instituting a pause rather than a ceasefire in Gaza. After two years of ceaseless bombing, genocide and pulversation of Gaza by Israel, hundreds of thousands of its indigenous occupants who were driven out of their homes are returning. But the homes they were looking for are not there. They cannot even trace the exact location of where they lived, because Gaza has been turned into a mountain of rubble and the world’s largest waste dump. Yet, thanks to Trump, the returnees had at least one or two nights of sleep under a blue sky without fear of being bombed. Trump also needs to be thanked for admitting the failure of the socalled Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which, in the name of mercy, weaponised food and water to starve Gazans. For a few morsels of food and bottles of water, these wretched humans risked death when contravening GHF instructions. After the deal, however, only 300 aid-carrying trucks are allowed to enter Gaza. What they carry and deliver is a pittance in comparison to the total needs of this orphaned humanity. Yet, for these, one may thank Trump once more.

Sri Lanka overperforms IMF targets: Does this mean Sri Lanka will avoid another economic crisis?
ACHIEVING IMF program targets and ensuring macroeconomic stability (objective 1) is excellent news. But does this mean that Sri Lanka is on its way to long term steady economic growth and that Sri Lanka's debt (especially external debt) is sustainable (objective 2)? Many Sri Lankans confuse these 2 objectives. Not just Sri Lankans but many other countries too confuse these.
