Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, confirmed support for Sri Lanka’s economic recovery, praising the progress the country has made.

She noted that the economy has stabilized and shown positive results after a period of collapse.

On his part, IMF representative in Sri Lanka, Peter Brewer, pointed out that the ongoing recovery requires final efforts to reduce public spending, despite some discontent from public sector employees.

In this context, President Dissanayake expressed his commitment to stimulating investments and reducing debt through supportive legislation such as the Investor Protection Law.
