Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has called for a full report on all past transactions of the Central Bank immediately.

The directive was given to the Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran and the Monetary Board. The detailed report has to be submitted to the Ministry of Policy Planning and Economic Affairs under whose purview the Central Bank now functions.

The Ministry will thereafter hand over that report to the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) as well as the special committee appointed to probe capital market and relevant institutions headed by Harsha Sosa for further analysis.
