Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa reads the 2011 budget in Parliament in Colombo November 22, 2010. Sri Lanka's president proposed a 2011 budget on Monday promising a swathe of tax cuts and the lowest deficit in 19 years, aiming to quicken the pace of post-war economic revival. However, there were few specifics about how revenue would be raised in the budget, the first full-year spending plan since the country won a quarter-century war over the Tamil Tigers separatists in May 2009.
