- The objective of holding this Forum is to provide the facilities required to maintain a healthy relationship between the public and private sectors while bridging the gap existing between the Sri Lankan business community and the public sector. This provides the space for the business community to discuss their issues face to face with the top management of the major institutions of the public sector and to resolve those matters. The proposal made by Hon. Ravi Karunanayake, the Minister of Finance, to hold this Forum at least once a month as appropriate, was approved by the Cabinet.
