evidence: ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s main opposition party the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has proposed anti-corruption measures, debt management, continued engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on terms favourable to Sri Lanka, revenue consolidation and other measures to improve the island nation’s dire economic situation. [...] Fighting corruption has been a key policy focus of both the SJB and rival opposition group the National People’s Power (NPP), led by the leftist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), as a solution to Sri Lanka’s crisis, with particular emphasis on recovering stolen assets, though neither party has so far detailed what such a recovery process would look like. [...] Presenting the document at the SJB economic summit on Tuesday, MP Harsha de Silva said that, unlike others (in a clear dig at the anti-IMF JVP), the SJB supports engaging with the IMF. He also defended a controversial remark by party leader Sajith Premadasa recently that a future SJB government under him is not obligated to honour deals made by the incumbent government.
