斯里兰卡西里塞纳执政以来债务危机的现状、影响及其应对措施

Debt Crisis in Sri Lanka under Sirisena Government: Present Situation, Impact and Policy Measures

斯里兰卡西里塞纳执政以来国家陷入债务危机,其债务危机的主要原因是外汇储备几乎由商业贷款构成,且投资收益低于贷款利息,借新债还旧债。斯里兰卡债务危机导致货币贬值;政局不稳定,大选即将来临,当前政府非常有可能下台;在美元强势和发达国家经济回暖的情况下,高负债的斯里兰卡特别容易陷入再融资危机,使借新债还旧债的模式不可持续。应对债务危机的措施建议:继续改革公营企业和私营企业;吸引外资;发展出口导向型经济和数字经济;大力发展旅游经济,特别是数字化服务。

A debt crisis erupted under Sirisena Government has resulted into currency depreciation and political instability in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka might need to further reform its public/private enterprise and enhance effort to attract more foreign investment. It is also recommended to develop an exportation-oriented economy and digital economy. Tourism economy and digitalized service can help relieve the crisis as well.
