IMF Chief meets CBSL Governor, praises Sri Lanka’s recovery progress

Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), visited the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) as both Sri Lanka’s IMF membership and the Central Bank marked their 75th anniversaries.

During the visit, she held discussions with Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe and senior officials.

At the meeting, Sri Lankan authorities expressed appreciation for the IMF’s continued support under the ongoing Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme.
