SRI LANKA NEWS-(MAY 2021)-Compiled by Victor Melder Sri Lanka’s outstanding public debt increased substantially to 109.7% of GDP by end-2020 from 94.3% of GDP at end-2019, the Central Bank said in its Annual Report. This increase was mainly due to the rise in Central Government debt coupled with the contraction in the nominal GDP in 2020. Public debt, as defined by the Central Bank, includes Central Government debt, foreign project loans received by State-Owned Business Enterprises (SOBEs), and public guaranteed debt. In absolute terms, the outstanding public debt increased to Rs. 16,427.1 billion at end-2020 from Rs. 14,155.3 billion at end-2019. The outstanding Central Government debt, which is the largest component of public debt, increased to Rs. 15,117.2 billion at end-2020 from Rs. 13,031.5 billion at end-2019, accounting for 92% of the total public debt.

SRI LANKA NEWS – (APRIL 2021) – Compiled by Victor Melder A critically endangered new species of geckos (Cnemaspis lokugei) was discovered from Haputale and Idalgashinna areas in Sri Lanka’s central highlands. This was the first to be recorded so far for 2021. The newly discovered species was named in honor of Ajith Nethkelum Lokuge, a pioneer ecologist, analogue forestry specialist and a senior member of Young Zoologists’ Association (YZA) of Sri Lanka, for his significant contribution towards environmental conservation and research in Sri Lanka. “With the new find, the number of Cnemaspis species has increased to 38”, says lead scientist Suranjan Karunarathna of the Nature Explorations and Education Team. Depending on the known area of occupancy, the species is considered critically endangered, he said. “Our morphological and molecular analysis and previous studies strongly indicate the presence of a novel species of Cnemaspis. This has added yet another species to ...
