一 | Colombo, Oct 20 (UNI) The prevailing economic crisis could deal a severe blow to many Sri Lankan business sectors if it deepens or drags for a prolonged period, Fitch Ratings said in remarks published on Thursday.
This is because runaway inflation, elevated interest rates and import restrictions have already pressured their revenues, margins, profits and cash flows, the Daily Mirror quoted Fitch Ratings as saying.
In a brief commentary on the implications the economic crisis would have on Sri Lanka’s listed companies, the rating agency identified consumer goods retail, power generation and home building among the most affected sectors from a prolonged crisis.
While some businesses did not feel the full effects of the crisis as they managed to grow their top and bottom lines and their margins in the second quarter ended in June 2022, Fitch said they would not be able to replicate the same results in the coming quarters as price hikes could come at the cost of further decline in revenues.
The September earnings season, which kicked off this week, would provide analysts and investors the opportunity to assess how these companies representing wider industries have fared on the back of continued rise in costs across the supply chains as well as of their borrowings, it said.
The Sri Lankan economy is projected to be in continuous decline in 2022 and 2023, shedding 9.2 per cent and 4.2 per cent, respectively, according to the World Bank estimates.
“Significant cost inflation affecting demand and profitability, import restrictions disrupting operations and high interest rates are key risks faced by domestic corporations in the next 12-18 months,” Fitch Ratings said.
If these conditions persist in the said time horizon, worsening the economic conditions, Fitch estimates around 50 per cent of its rated issuers to see rating pressure.
UNI MR。 中新社重庆8月21日电 (张旭)重庆市住房和城乡建设委员会21日发布消息称，该委日前正式印发《重庆市城镇房屋安全保险工作指南(试行)》(下称指南)。这是中国首部专门针对城镇房屋安全保险的综合性工作指南。 针对不同类型房屋和风险场景，指南推出了房屋主体类、围护及设施设备类、公共安全责任类、施工类保险产品，基本实现城镇房屋安全风险全覆盖。 在理赔环节，指南明确了全流程规范：知悉事故后24小时内报案(不可抗力除外)，保险机构24小时内赶赴现场查勘，同步开展应急施救、损失核定。5000元人民币及以下小额财产损失启用线上快赔通道，对于已明确属于保险责任的事故，被保险人线上完整提交资料、完成信息核验后，赔款24小时内到账。2025年2月8日，航拍重庆中心城区住宅楼群。(无人机照片) 中新社记者 何蓬磊 摄 值得关注的是先行赔付制度：出现人员伤亡、房屋倒塌危及公共安全等紧急情形时，保险机构应先行支付不低于预估赔偿金额50%的资金，用于应急救援、受灾居民临时安置和紧急排险。 指南的一大亮点是强化保险机构的“风险减量服务”功能。保险机构须按实际收取保费的20%左右专项用于房屋安全风险防范、事故预防相关工作。该项工作实行单独立项、单独核算。 重庆市住房和城乡建设委员会表示，重庆城镇化正从快速增长期转向稳定发展期，城镇房屋“老龄化”问题日益凸显。
