Chief Government Whip and Health and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said the President presented a Budget that the entire people in the country can be made happy and could trust.

“The 2026 Budget is an economic and political document about the country next year that has surpassed beyond a financial statement. We have clearly shown the pathway through demonstrating how to work as a Government when building up a country from bankruptcy by this Budget,” he said.

“Last year we committed ourselves with our Cabinet, our ministries to study about the country’s economic situation by getting into the mechanisms and working accordingly and as a result we have been able to present this 2026 Budget financial document focused and targeting the future of the country’s development.
