Deputy Minister of Transport and Highways Development Prasanna Gunasekara stated that the 2027 budget will serve as a milestone in Sri Lanka's economic transformation and benefit the public.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Gunasekara accused the opposition of exploiting global economic fallout from the Middle East conflict, including unstable fuel prices and rising inflation, for narrow political gain.
He added that two expressway development projects will be launched in December using the national fund rather than loans to avoid burdening the public.
