Arutha hosted a virtual event to mark the launch of our newest platform, Debt.lk on 12 July 2025. This platform brings together data and information on Sri Lanka’s external debt from a range of sources for easy access and clarity. It includes information on who the lenders are, how much has been borrowed, and where the money goes with the aim of making Sri Lanka’s debt transparent and helping citizens stay informed.

The event featured a discussion by Umesh Moramudali and Yenuli Ranaweera on the inception of Debt.lk and the platform’s features.
