Sri Lankan Prime Minister Wickremesinghe declared a state of emergency on the 13th. Crises such as lack of foreign exchange, soaring prices, and shortage of power and oil supply have had a great impact on the lives of local people.
Fan Jinyue, vice president of the Overseas Chinese Federation of Sri Lanka, said that the business of the local overseas Chinese has been greatly affected. I am engaged in the import and export industry. Due to the lack of foreign exchange, local customers cannot use US dollars to purchase products imported from other countries, and the import and export trade has been hit. At present, most Chinese travel agencies are closed, and the business of restaurants is less than half of what they used to be.
