IMF Fifth Review to resume after cyclone impact assessment
-
CENTRAL Bank Governor Dr.Nandalal Weerasinghe yesterday did not rule out any changes to the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) Extended Fund Facility on account of emerging needs due to the post-Ditwah recovery.
Speaking at the post-Monetary Policy announcement press conference, Dr. Weerasinghe said IMF staff are currently assessing the economic impact of Cyclone Ditwah ahead of the postponed fifth review under the Extended Fund Facility. The fifth review, initially scheduled for midDecember, was deferred following the cyclone, with Sri Lanka instead receiving $ 206 million under the IMF's Rapid Financing Instrument.
"The IMF team is here to assess the impact. After that, there will be a staff review mission to look at targets and see whether revisions are required," he said, adding that discussions would continue until agreement is reached to complete the review.
