The International Monetary Fund said it’s looking forward to working with Sri Lanka’s newly elected leftist president, including on the latest review of the country’s $3 billion bailout package, international media reports said.
“We will discuss the timing of the third review of the IMF-supported program with the new administration as soon as practicable,” the organization said in a statement after President Anura Kumara Dissanayake was sworn into office on Monday.
“We look forward to working together with President Dissanayake and his team towards building on the hard-won gains that have helped put Sri Lanka on a path to economic recovery since entering one of its worst economic crises in 2022,” the IMF added.
In its statement, the IMF said the recent agreement with bondholders “represents significant progress in Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring process,” adding that it’s still “subject to confirmation on comparability of treatment by Sri Lanka’s Official Creditors Committee.”
