ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka has made a three month mini-budget running from March to May 2020, using constitutional powers given to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa after parliament was dissolved as the country remains gripped by Coronavirus.

The current budget under President’s powers coming from section 150 of the constitution would run from March 06, before the term of the earlier vote-on-account ends and run till the end of May.
The national budget department in a circular to spending units said summary of estimates
for each Ministry and spending agency are allocated for the next three months incorporating balance provisions of the Vote on Account 2020.
The allocations including debt repayments total 1,224.8 billion rupees, made up of 713 billion in current spending and 511 billion in capital spending, which also involves debt rollovers.
