Sri Lanka hits a milestone! A staff-level agreement with the IMF brings us closer to unlocking $333 million under the Extended Fund Facility—pushing total assistance to $1.3 billion. The journey wasn’t easy, with hurdles in debt restructuring and elections delaying approval.
But here’s why the IMF believes in Sri Lanka’s progress:
📈 4% economic growth (YoY) by mid-2024
📉 Inflation cooled to 0.8% in Q3
💰 Reserves surged to $6.4 billion in October
The next steps?
Finalising the 2025 budget and locking in debt restructuring agreements. With focus and determination, Sri Lanka is on track for economic recovery and stability.
