🔍 Rethinking Sri Lanka's Economic Recovery: A Balance Sheet Perspective

In his insightful article, Dr. Kenneth De Zilwa challenges conventional economic narratives by highlighting the fundamental role of double-entry accounting in understanding economic cycles. He posits that every economic transaction—be it a local purchase or sovereign debt issuance—creates an inseparable duality: an asset for one entity is simultaneously a liability or claim for another.
