As anticipation builds around President Ranil Wickremesinghe's forthcoming address where he is expected to declare Sri Lanka no longer bankrupt, opposition voices have raised skepticism. SJB MP Harsha de Silva has voiced strong criticism of the President's announcement, emphasizing the role of independent credit rating agencies in determining a country's debt status.

De Silva took to Twitter to challenge the President's anticipated statement, asserting, "A sovereign’s ability to repay its (external) debt is regularly announced to the world by independent credit rating agencies and not by any politician. Sri Lanka will get out of default rating after the ISB exchange is completed."

The posters with the message "Expect Good News" that have appeared across Colombo have fueled speculation that President Wickremesinghe's address on Wednesday, June 26, at 8:00 PM, will bring positive developments regarding the nation's economic situation. Pro-government groups have been behind this campaign, indicating a significant announcement concerning the restructuring of Sri Lanka’s foreign debt.
