Professor Wasantha Athukorala of Peradeniya University’s Department of Economics and Statistical Studies said that the confidence of businessmen in the President and the current government led to the increase in the price index of the stock market.
It is a positive situation that the index values of the stock market are rising like this.
Stock market values depend on the country’s economic and political stability.
Accordingly, the businessmen have a lot of faith in the current president who came to power in the last presidential election.
Attention should be paid to attract foreign investors to the stock market.
He added that the country will receive more foreign currency and the stock prices will increase further.
