Sri Lanka is looking forward to making progress in ending the ongoing debt restructuring negotiations at the IMF and the World Bank’s spring meetings scheduled to begin from Monday in Washington.
Shehan Semasinghe, the state minister for finance, will lead the government delegation along with Central Bank Governor Nandalal Weerasinghe and Treasury Secretary Mahinda Siriwardena.
“Through partnership and collective efforts, Sri Lanka would be able to achieve enhanced growth," Semasinghe said, adding that the talks would be important in securing the next tranche of the USD 2.9 billion International Monetary Fund bailout.
