LONDON (Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund said on Thursday it was already communicating with Sri Lanka’s new economic team.
“We are discussing the next steps for engagement” IMF Senior Mission Chief for Sri Lanka Peter Breuer said in an emailed statement, reiterating the Fund was looking forward to working with the country’s new President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and his team.
Dissanayake, who won the island nation’s presidential elections on Saturday, aims to change the revenue goals set under the IMF programme to reduce high income taxes and free up funds to invest in welfare for millions of Sri Lankans hardest hit by its financial crisis.
