State Minister of Finance and Mass Media Eran Wickramaratne said Sri Lanka has a deeply entrenched entitlement culture which works against the entrepreneurial culture. He said rationale for introducing Rs 60 billion Enterprise Sri Lanka program was to challenge that entitlement culture in Sri Lanka.
He was speaking at a pre-budget seminar organised by Business Economics Faculty of University of Jayewardenepura under the theme, ‘Striving for Export Competitiveness’. The event was held at the Lakshman Kadirgamar Institute in Colombo on Monday.
