> Between 2012 and 2020, the #debt to #GDP ratio doubled to around 80%, with a growing share of this in bonds. The payments due on these debts kept rising in relation to what Sri Lanka could earn from exports and the money sent back home by #SriLankans working abroad.. the pandemic and the war in #Ukraine.. causing export earnings to fall and sharply increasing the price of essential imports.. the government had to keep paying interest even when it could not import essential fuel.

I just feel for #SriLankans
I hope #Indians here who think majoritarianism is okay think again.
We are a vast and diverse country with a vibrant syncretic culture. Everything comes from somewhere.
Majoritarianism kills that.

Any #SriLankans on the fedi? Crazy to think what that would be like in the midst of such a disaster. I guess keeping peoples phone numbers must be extra important.
