As a result, the budget deficit\u2014which stood at Rs. 236 billion in the first five months of 2025\u2014has turned into a budget surplus of Rs. 197 billion during the first five months of this year. This reflects an increase of Rs. 433 billion in government revenue compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citing these indicators, the Governor of the Central Bank stated that Sri Lanka is building a stable foundation capable of withstanding any future economic challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube
