A STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ITS IMPACTS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SRI LANKA

Abstract

The long-running financial crisis in Sri Lanka has put the country's government to its most significant test and caused great hardship for its citizens. Lanka is experiencing an economic and political emergency, with high expansion and erratic showings across the nation. The Sri Lankan government requires its citizens living abroad to send money home. Due to Sri Lanka's $51 billion in external obligations, 13 Lankan banks have been placed on rating watch negative. On the island paradise, inconvenience is in the making. There isn't any food available. Over the past few months, approximately 500,000 more Sri Lankans have become dependent. Basic medical procedures, prescriptions, and fuel are being discontinued. According to experts, the financial crisis may be more to blame for the deaths in Sri Lanka than the coronavirus. There are frequent blackouts and violent street brawls. The lack of force and the inability to obtain safe drinking water has made it extremely difficult to organize crisis healthcare services. There has been an intrusion into the security net projects. The situation in Sri Lanka is much more complicated than just a money crisis. There is a charitable emergency here. How could it have happened, and how did the public authority of Sri Lanka lose its money? are the only questions being asked. This exam paper's purpose is to provide answers to these questions. Additionally, the paper's author frames a thorough investigation of the problem and the causes of the financial emergency.
