11:20 am
holding a special session to discuss. restructuring is that to domestic lenders. the countries aiming to meet financial target set by the international monetary fund by 2030 to speak to on correspondents in colombo, me now for 9 days. so me know, how is the government proposing to restructure this debt of the so the government has come up with a plan of what it calls a sort of a, a boss good of the 12 financial instruments in terms of what that means is it's identify 12 particular areas that it will look at re walking that that, that it has. now initially the had been a lot of concern that the government would look to the banking sector for lock up to look at, you know, restructuring debt, loans, investments instruments. so that they don't have to pay back any time soon and things like that. but the banking sector economy is the, even the opposition of that stage. and one that this was not
11:21 am
a good idea that this will literally lead to a level in the banking sector and literally threatened the economy. so the, instead, what we're hearing from what's being discussed in parliament just down the road here, is that a primary amount of the burden from what it looks like is being put on pension funds on superannuation funds, as the government calls them. these are funds that ordinary for long pins, your labor as your government trade work, because everyone in normal, ordinary jobs contribute every month a certain amount and when it comes to retirement age, they have that mistake with interest. now these funds, this sort of bunch of money is given to people who invest on behalf of that fund and 96 percent over a little more than that. have actually all those funds have been invested in the
11:22 am
government funds. so this is the funded that to be restructuring is targeting on a very sort of appropriate a decision making, right just to people. but essentially the interest rate uh that the investments would get the maturity, all of those things. and the battery tons, basically all water being targeted, we're not popular. you say me now, what reaction do you expect from politicians and the public? a sofa. like i said, it's a daughters, it depends on which side of the political divide you are listening to, the government's thinking, it, it is speaking in its hills and saying that this is the only way forward that if they were going for international restructuring, it's store suitable and do you know that they have to look at the restructuring domestic that they have said that the banking sector is already paying something like 50 percent tax on its profits and that it's not feasible to for the book in
11:23 am
the banking sector. now others would take issue with that because this is obviously about profits of the bank, things like that. but in terms of deposits and things like that, there were concerns, in fact, whether wedding the middle of a 5, the holidays pretty much on presidents at which the government insured was going to be a shock down of the stock exchange, the banking sector, to minimize the kind of reactions on 2 things separately. so the publication saying that this is a tax on the normal man who doesn't have a voice, and that is on fast. now. thank you very much. we now fernandez, live in colombo. the u. s. supreme court has rejected funds by price and joe biden to cancel $450000000000.00 a student loan debt. this was a major campaign promise when he ran for present in 2020, but biden has filed to fight on. she advertise the force in washington. according to the conservative majority of the us supreme court, president biden did not have the legal authority to forgive some $400000000000.00
11:24 am

11:25 am
those facing difficulty repaying that through october. way to have that credit racing effected for 12 months. the presidents of the republicans opposing pandemic student debt forgiveness were hypocrites. let's be clear. some of the same elected republican members of congress who strongly opposed can released as twos, got hundreds of thousands of dollars and selves and really, members of congress. because of the businesses they were able to keep up with. several members of congress count over a $1000000.00 vitamin struggling and opposed with younger versions. and so he's failed to give a range of campaign promises from 2020. this is the latest disappointments and some activists of logo and you'll be administration mishandled the issue by not using the higher education act in the 1st place. for them it will not be enough to make there's a campaign issue now in 2024. they won't bite intact boldly now through executive order to stop the need for repayments in october. and if he does next,
