(UTV|COLOMBO) – The Government will successfully face the fuel price problem as it successfully handled the debt burden, the Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said.
However, there is a chance that the fuel prices may increase further in the coming months due to the prevailing oil crisis in the global market, he stated.
The Prime Minister made these remarks addressing a function at Ehetuweva in Galgamuwa.
Premier Wickremesinghe further stressed, with global fuel prices increasing some countries introduced a system to change fuel prices daily.
He said that since Sri Lanka did not have the experience to conduct a daily price review a monthly review system was introduced.
However, the idea was to eventually introduce a fuel price review weekly.
