Basil denies Ranil’s request on disclosing draft IMF report

Date:

Leader of the United National Party (UNP) MP Ranil Wickremesinghe addressing the All Party Conference held this (23) morning under the President’s patronage inquired about the report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding Sri Lanka.

In response, Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa commented that the government has not yet received the IMF report on Sri Lanka.

Further being insisted by Wickremesinghe that the Sri Lankan representative of the IMF should be inquired in this regard, Minister Rajapaksa stated that the draft of the final report formulated by the IMF has been received.

However, the Finance Minister denied the UNP Leader’s request on disclosing the draft report in Parliament.

Further contributing to the All Party Conference led by the President, Wickremesinghe stressed that it may take at least five years for Sri Lanka to overcome the current crisis. Stabilising the country’s economy and ensuring economic recovery in the next two years would be the two major issues before Sri Lanka, he added.
