The preliminary round of discussions related to the fourth review of Sri Lanka’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan programme is scheduled to conclude today.
IMF representatives have been in the country for approximately a week, during which they held a series of meetings with officials from the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and several other government institutions.
These discussions are expected to pave the way for a staff-level agreement with the IMF.
Upon successful completion of the review, Sri Lanka is expected to receive USD 335 million under the fifth tranche of the IMF loan programme.
