What is the point of having a guest and then not allowing them the time to complete their point? The host is supposed to ask questions and they should be short and concise. By all means, you can agree or disagree with the guest, but the host should not be hogging the interview.
Very pertinent issue about the fiscal space and infrastructure that is required for investment. Niresh should interview one of the government representatives, together with Gihan. Everyone is talking only about Foreign debt and not domestic debt. Also, demonetisation is not talked about. Is all this related to the 65% unofficial (black] economy?
Gihan is on point about the high interest cost. We should have restructured the "Crisis Bonds" and support the banks with a rescue fund for the capital and liquidity. Leaving all the banks out the restructuring process was a mistake, and eventually lower-income taxpayers will pay the price with 18% VAT. However, for 2025 the gov interest cost will be lower than the 2024 if the current trend continues.
I believe Gihan has a valid point about domestic restructuring once again. Why is this not been discussed more widely? In the last Face the Nation Program, Gihan should have taken up this issue so that we could have listened to a broader perspective on this. Why won’t people like Dr Anil Jayantha not talk about this?

The host should have knowledge of the topic, so as to ask intelligent, probing questions.
