Import restrictions on many goods will be lifted next week

State Minister of Finance Ranjith Siyambalapitiya says that the import restrictions on 300 to 400 items will be eased from next week.

Due to the Corona pandemic, the government imposed a ban on several goods as part of long-term severe import restrictions from March 2020.

Due to the economic crisis, the import ban continued until as recently as November last year.

After that, the government relaxed import restrictions on a number of goods from time to time.
