We cannot afford to have a large public sector. Therefore, we need to rationalize public services, cut numbers and move towards digitalization,\u201d he said at the launch of the annual report of the Sri Lanka Association of Public Accountants held at the Bandaranaike Conference Hall in Hulangamuwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, economist Talal Rafi said that the government spends Rs. 1,700 billion annually on salaries and pensions in the public service, which is the largest expenditure burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf the public sector is reduced by 25 percent, it will save the government about Rs. 400 billion annually. That is equivalent to the cost of three Katunayake-Colombo expressways,\u201d he said, making a note in X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u0dbb\u0dcf\u0da2\u0dca\u200d\u0dba
