7. What of the future?

Notwithstanding all these efforts, if this global crisis prevails for a longer period and many countries suffer from recession, Sri Lankan exports too could be affected, although in a limited way because of the nature of our exports. Therefore, exporters have to be vigilant about the situation and take the necessary measures to handle such an eventuality, and continue to improve their productivity.

At the same time, the Government and the Central Bank will continue to take the necessary steps to meet the rapidly unfolding challenges. In fact, our objective is to anticipate and take the required measures in time to ensure stability. It is clear that we have done so in the recent past. We shall continue to do so in the future. We are confident that we can face this challenge.
