President Ranil Wickremesinghe revealed that he had foreseen Sri Lanka's economic crisis prior to its onset. Speaking during a live Q&A session called #AskRanilLive, organized by a group of youths, Wickremesinghe said that he had informed then-President Gotabaya Rajapaksa about the impending situation and had offered his assistance.

The interactive session, held on July 26, allowed viewers to engage with the President and ask questions via social media platforms.
