💨 Abstract

Sri Lanka's leftist leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake took office as president on Monday, replacing veteran politician Ranil Wickremesinghe. Dissanayake, who led the opposition, won the presidency on a graft-fighting and economic recovery platform. He faces challenges in setting up a new cabinet, passing a budget, and addressing investor concerns about potential changes to IMF bailout terms and debt deals.
