Central Bank Governor Dr Nandalal Weerasinghe says that in view of the current economic crisis the country is facing, it is important to bring the income from tea export to Sri Lanka within a month.
The Governor of the Central Bank mentioned this while addressing the General Assembly of the Colombo Tea Traders Association. It is said that 180 days time will be given to bring income to the country while carrying out a business related to exports.
Even so, the central bank governor stated that it does not mean that they will be given a loan for a period of 180 days for purchases abroad in the event of a balance of payments crisis in the country.
The Governor of the Central Bank further stated that if the exports are carried out, the money should be brought within a month and he personally does not want to submit administrative measures for this and he only wants to motivate for this.
