IMF Mission Chief Evan Papageorgiou told reporters in Colombo: "We are paying close attention to the developments around the unbundling of CEB and the evolution that the energy sector is going to undergo in 2026 and beyond." "The reform is a very crucial step meant to bring more transparency and a more efficient function of the energy sector. However, with any reform and any change, there are a lot of details to be ironed out and to be darified," he added.
