Abstract

Sri Lanka is experiencing a severe economic crisis as a result of the country's depletion of foreign reserves, which has resulted in shortages of food, fuel, medication, cement, and other necessary products. Sri Lanka is in the midst of a severe economic crisis as a result of the country's depletion of foreign reserves, which has resulted in food, gasoline, pharmaceutical, cement, and other essential supplies shortages. As a consequence of the policy initiatives taken thus far and the improvement in the COVID-19 situation, the Sri Lankan government is optimistic that the crisis would be addressed shortly. Even though the circumstances on the ground and analyses of the government's policy measures imply that Sri Lankans would not receive economic respite anytime soon, global geopolitical-economic trends, particularly in the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine war, suggest otherwise. In Sri Lanka, public resistance to the government's handling of the matter is steadily growing. The declining economic growth is the subject of this research study
