Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa recently convened a meeting with Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) stakeholders to engage in a comprehensive discussion on the critical challenges currently confronting the sector.

During the meeting, stakeholders highlighted issues such as cash flow constraints, high taxation, rising operational costs, currency volatility, and regulatory bottlenecks that continue to place immense pressure on MSMEs.

Premadasa assured participants that he will take these concerns forward by arranging discussions with the Committee on Public Finance (CoPF) and by engaging with the Finance Ministry, which operates under the authority of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, with the objective of seeking practical and timely solutions.

The MSME representatives extended their appreciation to Premadasa for his consistent advocacy and strong representation of the MSME community. They said his willingness to raise these issues at every possible forum and his commitment to fighting for policy-level reforms clearly reflect his role as a true champion of MSMEs and their contribution to the national economy.
