Minister of Labour Nimal Siripala de Silva says the government is taking necessary steps to grant an allowance of Rs 100,000 to returning Sri Lankan expatriates who have lost their jobs.
Speaking further, he said the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment has been directed to provide such returnees, who plan to stay in Sri Lanka, with an interest-free loan of Rs 50,000 in order to set up a business here.
We are already granting an allowance of Rs 50,000 to returning expatriates through the Foreign Employment Bureau, however, I have given instructions to increase the amount to 100,000,” he said.
