Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe, Governor of the Central Bank, says that it is expected that a certificate regarding obtaining financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund will be available by the end of this year.
He mentioned this in an interview with Bloomberg.
The Governor of the Central Bank pointed out that Sri Lanka needs a financial guarantee from the external creditors for that and if everything goes well within the next three to four months and if all the external creditors cooperate with the debt management strategy of the Government of Sri Lanka, that guarantee can be obtained in December. That is.
Accordingly, the IMF can present the paper on Sri Lanka to its Executive Board so that they can start extending the Extended Fund Facility at the end of this year, the Central Bank Governor said.
