JVP demands IMF conditions be released to public

Date:

The conditions stipulated in the government’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) must be released to the public, demanded former Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) MP Wasantha Samarasinghe.

Speaking to media yesterday (03), the former JVP MP reminded that the President as a lone MP in Parliament had questioned the former Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) about the IMF conditions during the government’s preliminary discussions with the global fiscal agency, adding that Ranil Wickremesinghe, as the head of state and the minister of finance on the other hand, is not keen on revealing them today.

Samarasinghe stressed that the IMF conditions should be tabled in Parliament and that the world must know what the Sri Lankan government has agreed to.
