IMF Delegation Arrives for Sri Lanka Economic Review and Reform Program Assessment

An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation, led by Mission Chief Evan Papageorgiou, is conducting a staff visit in Sri Lanka from June 24 to June 30. The primary objective of this mission is to assess recent economic developments and review the performance of Sri Lanka’s ongoing economic reform program. The delegation is engaging in discussions with government authorities, including senior officials from the Finance Ministry and Central Bank, alongside other stakeholders. This visit serves as crucial preparation for the seventh review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), which is slated for August and may result in the disbursement of an approximately US$330 million loan tranche.
