While daily trading was very active at the Colombo Stock Exchange, by 10.50 am all share indexes rose by 52 points while recording a value of 7,069.96. Similarly, there was a transaction of over Rs. 500 million recorded during the first one and a half hours.

The Prime Minister’s address in Parliament yesterday (05 November) on the government’s mid-term economic plans has been the reason for the Stock Exchange to see such a growth, say CSE sources.
