An International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation is due to arrive in Sri Lanka today (22) for an official visit focused on assessing the fallout from Cyclone Ditwah and engaging in discussions with local authorities.
During the visit, which will continue until January 28, the IMF team will evaluate the economic and humanitarian consequences of the cyclone, including its effects on infrastructure, livelihoods and overall economic stability. The delegation will also examine the measures taken by the government to manage the challenges arising from the disaster.
In addition, the IMF has recently concluded the fifth review under Sri Lanka’s Extended Fund Facility. Discussions during the visit are expected to include efforts to obtain approval for the next phase of the IMF-supported program.
