Sri Lanka Forum of University Economists Sumanasiri Liyanage S L J E R Dean, Faculty of Management and Finance, SANASA Campus Ltd., Sri Lanka Chamari Jayani Wijayawardane Assistant Lecturer, SANASA Campus Ltd., Sri Lanka INTRODUCTION The concept of a social market economy (SME) came to play a significant role in Sri Lankan development discourse when it was revealed in late-2014 at the height of the presidential election, that the new government under Maithreepala Sirisena and- Ranil Wickramasinghe would follow the SME model in articulating its economic policies: likely the first time such an idea had surfaced in a Sri Lankan election campaign. Karu Jayasuriya, the Speaker of Parliament, stated at the time that an SME would contribute to achieving the fivefold development strategy suggested by Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe, so that it would uplift the economic standards of the people and create an equitable society (Sri Lanka putting together Social Market Economy Model, 2015). The fivefold development plan titled ‘Our Solutions to Your Problems’ has been formulated targeting five main areas: (economy, infrastructure facilities, prevention of frauds and malpractices as well as freedom and education). According to the Prime Minister, it will give priority to improving the economy such that more youth may be employed and the incomes of people may increase within a period of 60 months. The plan will next address the improvement of people's general welfare and infrastructure facilities.
