In this Insight, the same analysis is conducted on the voting pattern in March 2014 (using data on 2013 trade). The analysis finds that in 2014, compared to 2012 and 2013, it is not simply those who have a stronger trading relationship that voted for or abstained on the resolution, the pattern is more nuanced: it is more that those who Sri Lanka exports to than those that Sri Lanka imports from that voted “for” the resolution. Countries with which Sri Lanka has a positive trade balance are countries that are helping Sri Lanka avoid a balance of payment problem, and vice versa. Therefore, on this trade related analysis there is an important message. Sri Lanka has a great deal to gain by cooperating with the countries that voted “for” the resolution. They make up more than 50% of Sri Lanka’s exports and they are countries with whom Sri Lanka has a huge positive trade balance. This Insight is originally published in the Daily Mirror and it can be accessed from the link below. Sinhala version is also included here. 2014-04-02T00:00:00Z https://archive.veriteresearch.org/handle/456/8219 Removing MP Pensions Parliamentary Research Team On 17 February 2026, Sri Lanka repealed the Parliamentary Pensions Law, No. 1 of 1977 through the Parliamentary Pensions (Repeal) Act No. 5 of 2026.
