President Anura Kumara Dissanayake announced yesterday that the Budget for 2025 will be presented to Parliament in February or March next year. The announcement was made during the inaugural General Election rally of the National People’s Power (NPP) in Tangalle.
During his address, President Dissanayake also revealed that a Vote on Account will be introduced in December to ensure the necessary financial provisions are in place until the full budget is presented.
He further highlighted that the upcoming budget will likely include salary increments for state sector employees, as well as a special allowance for those in need.
Additionally, the President stated that the government intends to renegotiate several agreements currently deemed disadvantageous to the country, noting that the relevant parties have already been informed of this decision.
