GOVT. RESPONSIBLE FOR CSE CRISIS - JVP

The main culprit behind the current Sri Lankan Stock Market crisis is the Government, JVP MP Sunil Handunetti said today. He added that he could without a doubt state that the Government’s political interference has led to the current market fiasco.

We challenged the government to publicize the list of companies who were the first issuer of the Stock Market, Handunnettti added. He claimed that the Government who used government funds and the funds of innocent employees was the first cause for the downfall of the so-called fastest growing stock market in the world. Insider trading which has plagued the stock exchange was brought about by the government, he said.
