IMF holds talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) held talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe in Colombo today.
The IMF team is visiting Colombo during June 20-30 to continue discussions on an economic program that could be supported by an IMF lending arrangement, building on the progress made during the May 9-24 virtual mission.
“We reaffirm our commitment to support Sri Lanka at this difficult time, in line with the IMF’s policies,” the IMF said.
Sri Lanka is seeking a bailout package from the IMF as the economic crisis worsens.
The IMF has placed a number of conditions in order to agree to a bailout package. (Colombo Gazette)
