What happened
The head of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) stated that corruption and systemic integrity failures were the fundamental causes of Sri Lanka's economic collapse. The CIABOC chief noted that these deep-rooted issues had eroded public trust and contributed to the financial catastrophe of 2022. Separately, the Central Depository System (Pvt) Ltd. announced the suspension of CDS accounts inactive for over 15 years on June 30, 2026, though active accounts were inadvertently suspended during the process.
