Echelon Magazine - October 2024

In dieser Angelegenheit

The Anti-Corruption Wave

Sri Lanka is on the cusp of a pivotal moment in its political history. Disillusioned by the establishment, Sri Lanka elected a new President to fight corruption.
In this edition, our cover argues that the new administration under Anura Kumara Dissanayake (AKD) must balance anti-corruption efforts with competent governance to resolve the economic crisis.
While AKD’s anti-corruption stance is crucial, it risks being undermined by populist economic policies similar to previous administrations, which could worsen the fiscal deficit. Tackling corruption alone will not fix the crisis. Painful reforms must continue. That is the narrative the new administration must advance to keep the fire-brand elements within (and without) its ranks, yearning for a revolution that never was, from turning against it on the misguided belief that all economic pain stems from corruption.
