இந்த ஆண்டின் ஆரம்பத்தில் இறுக்கிப் பிடித்த இலங்கையின் நாணயக் கொள்கையினை தளர்த்தி விட மத்திய வங்கி தீர்மாணித்துள்ளது.

 

இதன் மூலம் தற்போது நிலவும் உயர் வட்டி வீதங்களைக் குறைத்து, பணவீக்கத்தினை கட்டுப்படுத்தி, பொருளாதார வளர்ச்சியினை தூண்ட எதிர்பார்ப்பதாக மத்திய வங்கியின் பொருளாதார ஆராய்ச்சித் தினைக்களம் நேற்று தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

வணிக வங்கிகளிற்காக மத்திய வங்கி விதித்து வரும் மீள் கொள்வனவு (7.5%) மற்றும் நேர் மாற்று மீள் கொள்வனவு (9.5%) வீதங்களை 25 புள்ளிகள் அடிப்படையில் குறைப்பதன் மூலம் நாணயக் கொள்கையினை தளர்த்தி வட்டி வீதங்களைக் குறைக்க எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகின்றது.

 

இதேவேளை, சாதாரன வைப்புக்கள் (9.8%), நிலையான வைப்புக்கள் (12.78%) மற்றும் கடன்களிற்கான  (15.38%)  வணிக வங்கிகளின் நிறையளிக்கப்பட்ட சராசரி வட்டி வீதங்கள் கடந்த வார இறுதியிலும் உயர்வு கண்டிருந்தமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

In order to induce a downward adjustment in market interest rates, the Monetary Board decided to reduce the policy rates of the Central Bank by 25 basis points each while allowing the ceiling on rupee credit extended by banks to expire at end 2012.

Are there any planned public sector job cuts?

Sri Lankan banana republic can't afford to cut public sector jobs.

 

பல அரச ஊழியர்களும் சம்பள உயர்வு கேட்டு வேலை நிறுத்தம் செய்கின்றனர்.

 

அதேவேளை மேற்குலக நாடுகள் போன்று ஊதிய கொட்டுப்பனவுகளும் சிக்கலாக வரும்.

Sri Lanka's exports slip 13.4-pct in October

Dec 06, 2012 (LBO) - Sri Lanka's exports slipped 13.4 percent to 770.4 million US dollars in October from a year earlier, with tea being hit by Middle East tensions with apparel falling amid weak demand, the Central Bank said.

 

"Given the slowing down of global demand, exports of industrial exports continued to decline by October 2012," the Central Bank said.

 

"Earnings from exports of garments, which have a share of around 38 per cent in total export earnings, have made the largest contribution to the decline in earnings from industrial exports.

 

"The decline in earnings from exports of rubber products as well as gems including diamonds and jewellery also made a significant contribution to the decline in export earnings in October 2012."

 

Exports of apparel had fallen 16.6 percent to 297.2 million US dollars in October and tea had fallen 9.6 percent to 187.5 million US dollars.

 

In the first ten months of the year exports had fallen 6.6 percent to 8,163 million US dollars.

 

Falling exports also reduce the money available to be spent on imports. But imports are also driven by spending power that comes from remittances which grew 17.6 percent to 7.5 billion US dollars in the first ten months and other foreign earnings including tourism.

 

Capital inflows such as government and private borrowings also increase domestic spending power, triggering imports. Last year imports were driven to unsustainable levels by credit funded oil subsidies and money printed to sterilize foreign exchange interventions.

 

In October imports fell 10.1 percent to 1,580.5 million US dollars with consumer goods falling 21.3 percent to 110.1 million US dollars, intermediate goods falling 8.4 percent to 974 million US dollars and capital goods falling 1.3 percent to 376 million US dollars.

 

The trade gap narrowed 6.7 percent to 810 million US dollars.

 

In the ten months to October imports fell 4.0 percent to 15.7 billion US dollars and the trade gap fell one percent to 7.59 billion US dollars.

ஏற்றுமதி, இறக்குமதிக்கான வியாபார இடைவெளி சுருங்கியிருக்கிறது. இது மேற்கு நாடுகள் மாதிரி முன்னேறிய நாடுகளில் நடந்தால் வேறு. இலங்கை போன்ற நாடுகளுக்கு 100% தொழில்துறை உபகரணங்களும் வெளியில் இருந்து வரவேண்டும். ஆனால் இலங்கை அதிலும் விழுக்காடு கண்டிருப்பது மொத்தத்தில் நாடு இன்று பொருளாதார சுருக்கத்தை சந்திக்கிறதென்பது மட்டுமல்ல வரும் காலங்களில் இன்னும் பாரிய சுருக்கத்தை காணப்போகிறதாகலாம்.

China tightens rules for loans and funding of projects in Lanka

 

A Chinese loan of more than US$ 69 million or about Rs 8.9 billion for a hydro power project is on hold until Sri Lanka pays up a fee of more than Rs. 627 million to China’s state owned insurance company.

 

The demand for this fee is notwithstanding sovereign guarantees the Sri Lanka Government has offered. The move highlights how Chinese state agencies are exercising what appeared to be great caution and adopting maximum security for funding projects in Sri Lanka.

 

The state-owned China National Electric Equipment Corporation (CNEEC) had offered Sri Lanka US$ 69,723,605.35 through the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). This constitutes 85 per cent of the Broadlands Power Project. According to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), the hydropower Project is a “run-of-river type project planned on the Kelani Ganga to harness the hydro potential down- stream of the existing Polpitiya power station.

 

For the release of the loan, the Chinese state firm has said that seven per cent of the loan of over US$ 48 million or over Rs. 627 million should be paid to another state venture Sinosure. This company has been described as the Chinese government’s insurance agency. It is only thereafter that the loan would be released.

 

Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka told Cabinet in a memorandum that the payment was required to be made by the CEB. He was seeking approval from his ministerial colleagues to make the CEB the “borrower” for the power project where ICBC will be the “lender.” He noted that the “insurer” Sinosure would be placed with “the rights and obligations” under the loan agreement” in order for it to be covered by the government guarantee.

 

In July this year the Cabinet approved a proposal by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, as Minister of Finance and Planning, to authorise the Treasury to issue two guarantees. One was in favour of ICBC. The second, which has been accepted, was in favour of Hatton National Bank (PLC) which is funding 15 per cent of the hydropower project. This amounts to US$ 12,304,166 or more than Rs 15.9 billion.

 

The Broadlands hydro power project will have an installed capacity of 35 MW and the CEB expects to generate 126 GWh of electrical energy annually. The main work sites of the project are located near Kithulgala, about 90km northeast of Colombo.
