The Government is planning a series of legislative reforms covering employer-employee relations, the management of State assets and the country’s national statistical system as part of its 2027 policy programme.
Presenting the 2027 Budget in Parliament today (12), President Anura Kumara Dissanayake announced that the legal framework governing relations between employers and employees would be revised, with new legislation to be presented to Parliament.
The proposed reforms are expected to address the existing legal framework governing the relationship between workers and employers, although the President did not disclose specific details of the proposed changes or indicate when the legislation would be introduced.
The Government also plans to introduce a State Property Management Act aimed at ensuring the more effective management of State-owned assets.
The proposed legislation is intended to establish a framework for managing public assets, an area that has remained a concern amid calls for greater accountability, transparency and efficiency in the use of State resources.
In another legislative initiative, the President announced that a National Statistics Bill would be drafted.
The proposed legislation is expected to provide a legal framework for the country’s national statistical system, although further details regarding its scope and provisions were not outlined in the Budget speech.
The three initiatives form part of the Government’s broader legislative and institutional reform agenda under the 2027 Budget, with a focus on labour relations, public asset management and strengthening the country’s statistical framework.
