Sri Lanka is facing a worst economic condition which it has ever undergone. As a result of it, the government has taken many initiatives to shrink the economy by limiting the demand. Increased taxes, import restrictions, increased interest rates are the main tools used by the government. While the increased taxes and increased interest rates are negatively impacting DSI’s bottom line, the import restrictions are increasing the top line given that DSI is the largest local tyre manufacturer for the bicycles, motorbikes and three wheels.
