Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa has called for an All-Party Conference to discuss the ongoing economic downturn, including the rapid depreciation of the Sri Lankan Rupee.

Premadasa stated that opposition parties had come together in unity as the country faces what he described as another dangerous economic warning sign.

In a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said the sharp decline of the rupee, increasing cost pressures and growing economic uncertainty should not be viewed as partisan political issues.

He further noted that the opposition has decided to formally request President Anura Kumara Dissanayake to immediately convene an All-Party Conference in order to develop urgent national solutions before the situation worsens further.
