what kind of foreign reserve strategy is this? If he is an true investor he will invest $1 billion take back $1.2 billion. Ofcourse that is if this is not diaspora money coming in through Belgium.

Not at all a good idea. If you borrow you will be forced to do something to earn in order to service the borrowings and ensure that there is no fall in its value by payback time. What you do to earn will have its own socio political impacts that will have to be managed.

You can take a look at my take on borrowing on this same blog at http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/sri-lankas-central-bank-to-sell-usd-75mn-worth-development-bonds/#comment-3691 and hopefully you will be able to perceive what is involved as far as this island is concerned. After all while most locations have to deal with just the rat race here you have to deal with a different one.

So basically do not borrow except to fiance a clearly drawn out development plan and even then make sure that you move forward very carefully following very carefully the priorities that have been identified so that revenue flows are set in motion even while the systems and services fall in place. You can do it if you take the trouble to think it out…and do not buy into fairly tales … you are a big boy now.

Sounds like state sponsored money laundering, as a signatory to UNODC and policy frameworks of IMoLIN that determine such illicit activities may kicked in to investigate this. Unprecedented financial macabre move by the government, Fate of entire financial system is relying on single individual and his wealth. Bravo..

Folks
Have you ever heard of ”parking” money?
What’s the connection between this billion and the billion needed for 65,000 houses by ArcelarMittal please? ArcelorMittal Headquarters are in Luxembourg!
