Rising living costs remain a central concern for households and policymakers alike.

The cost of living continues to dominate economic discussions in Sri Lanka, as households adjust to higher prices for essential goods and services. Despite signs of macroeconomic stabilisation, many families report persistent financial strain.

Government officials point to targeted welfare measures and price controls as short-term responses. Economists, however, stress the importance of income growth and productivity improvements to address underlying challenges.

As debates continue, managing living costs will remain a key test of economic policy credibility and social stability.
