The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce Welcomes Staff-Level Agreement for the Third Review of IMF Program

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce welcomes the announcement of a staff-level agreement for the third review under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Extended Fund Facility program for Sri Lanka. This agreement underscores the progress the country has made in implementing structural reforms and achieving fiscal sustainability during this critical period of economic recovery.

While acknowledging the progress made, it is important to continue the reform momentum and build on the progress made while unlocking key constraints that bind long term sustainable growth. The Chamber looks forward to the Government meeting the requirement for disbursement by the Board of the IMF.
