Fiscal consolidation isn’t limited to pension reform.

The Prime Minister and Minister of Finance stated in Parliament recently that the removal of the means-testing of the State Age Pension, after being announced in the Budget Speech, implied higher expenditure of about Rs6.2 bn for the fiscal year 2026-27, representing 0.7% of GDP. The budget deficit, including higher pension spending, and exclusive of the uncertain receipt of Chagos rental income of Rs10.6 bn, would thus stand at around Rs48 bn, or 5.7% of GDP, compared to a deficit of Rs41 bn, or 5.4% of GDP in 2025-26.
