⚖️ 22nd Amendment to Pass post-Supreme Court Ruling: President

• Constitutional Reforms & Anti-Corruption: President Anura Kumara Dissanayake confirmed the proposed 22nd Amendment—raising the retirement age of superior court judges—will be passed immediately after the Supreme Court determination. Measures to clear case backlogs include expanding High Courts and expediting Government Analyst’s Department reports. • Cracking Down on Illicit Outflows: Action by law enforcement has curbed illegal dollar leakages, blocking an estimated US$ 1.00 Bn in illicit outflows (comparable to annual tea export earnings). • Fiscal Progress & Revenue Expansion: Government revenue reached 16.7% of GDP in 2025 (highest in nearly 30 years) with the lowest Budget deficit recorded since 1957. • Capital Expenditure Targets: Proposed Rs. 2.00 Tn allocated for capital expenditure next year, alongside a Rs. 2.00 Bn budgetary reserve per district for local development alongside expanded welfare payments.
