IMF sees Port City as important part of economy

COLOMBO (News 1st); The International Monetary Fund issued a press release highlighting recommendations to be made to ensure that Sri Lanka regains its economic stability under article IV, and have highlighted the importance of shielding the domestic financial sector from offshore banking activities in the Port City.According to the IMF, the Port City is an important opportunity for investment promotion and for testing growth-enhancing structural reforms. However, to maximize its benefits while minimizing associated risks, there is a need to ring-fence tax concessions, ensure compliance with international tax and AML/CFT standards and to shield the domestic financial sector from offshore banking activities in the Port City.Moreover, the tax concessions offered in the Port City should be clearly codified and carefully ringfenced through rigorous regulations while the administration should exercise its discretionary power in granting tax concessions and exemptions given, the IMF adds.In IMF staff’s view, Sri Lanka’s debt is unsustainable.

FILE - A study assistant, is holding a blood sample in her hand. (Britta Pedersen/picture alliance via Getty Image)Researchers have documented evidence of microplastics found in human blood for the first time, according to a recent study conducted in the Netherlands. The study, published in the journal Environment International on March 24, observed the blood of 22 healthy, non-fasting volunteers and subsequently, 17 out of the 22 people tested positive for having microplastics in their blood. Researchers found four "high production volume polymers" in test subjects’ blood which included polyethylene terephthalate, a synthetic resin which is often found in clothing fibers, containers for liquids and food and found in food in general, according to the study. In addition, polyethylene, one of the most common types of plastics primarily used in packaging for food, medical tubing and cable wires was also detected in the subject’s blood. Also present was polymers of styrene, otherwise known as polystyrene, which is made "from the monomer styrene, a liquid hydrocarbon that is commercially manufactured from petroleum," according to Science Direct. Polystyrene is widely used in the food industry to create containers, cups, utensils, plates and bowls.

PHILADELPHIA - Two juveniles are facing charges after authorities said they let their dogs viciously attack a cat as it was sitting on the front porch of a home in Frankford. The Pennsylvania SPCA shared video Tuesday of two people walking their dogs past a house in Frankford when they spot a cat, later identified as Buddy, on the front porch of a home.
