Sri Lanka government approval rating 3-pct, economic confidence minus: poll
ECONOMYNEXT – An approval rating of Sri Lanka’s government has fallen to 3 percent in June 2022 from 10 percent in January, and economic confidence was a negative 96, according to a poll conducted by Verité Research, a Colombo based think tank.

To the question, “In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in Sri Lanka?” only 2% said they were satisfied down from 6 percent in January 2022-07-0. (Colombo/July01/2022)
