Sri Lanka's economic crisis has become a favourite case study/guinea pig for parties seeking to push a certain narrative or to cherry-pick issues to discount others. From currency boards and the myth of the Chinese debt trap to the "ESG" spellbinding of the Green elites, it appears that every blue tick has their own narrative spin on what caused Sri Lanka's economic crisis.

Read our complete deep dive courtesy of Umesh Moramudali, Rehana Thowfeek, and Chayu Damsinghe here - "From currency board to Chinese loans - How accurate are the claims about Sri Lanka's economic crisis".
