The relief initiative, introduced by the government, is expected to address the financial hardships faced by Sri Lankan workers and families impacted by the instability in the region. The package is likely to include targeted assistance measures, though full details are yet to be officially disclosed.
Sources indicate that the proposal will focus on providing support to migrant workers, import-dependent sectors, and households experiencing rising costs linked to disruptions in the Middle East.
The President is scheduled to outline the scope of the relief measures during his address in Parliament, where further discussions and deliberations among lawmakers are expected to follow.
This move comes amid growing concerns over the economic ripple effects of the Middle East crisis on Sri Lanka’s economy, particularly in areas such as foreign employment, remittances, and energy prices.
