Episode 3: Sri Lanka: Business, Profit & Poor Financing

Recap: Episode 2 was a walk down memory lane, exploring the political and personal echoes of Sri Lanka’s nearly three-decade-long civil war. It painted a portrait of that period, its leaders, its senseless violence, and the island nation’s relentless reach towards stability despite it all. A line of bad decisions and fiscal policies ultimately paved the way for Sri Lanka’s economy to fall apart. We explore the poor policies carried out by the Gotabaya Administration, its impact across the country and debunk long standing myths of where it all really began.
