SEC Director-General Chinthaka Mendis yesterday (17) called on the Government to seek funding for its development projects at the Stock Exchange, saying that the country should no longer depend on foreign loans.
"When it comes to economic development we can’t any longer depend on foreign loans. Therefore, let me tell you, this is the place where you can raise funds for your ambitious development projects. So, don’t look elsewhere. This is the place, where we can fund the development projects of our government,” Mendis said whilst addressing a special market opening ceremony which was organized yesterday to mark the Digitalization of the Sri Lankan Stock Market.
He also reiterated the importance of increasing the use of digital technology in Sri Lanka.
