The delegation, including the finance minister, is leaving for talks with the IMF

A delegation led by the Minister of Finance has left the island for discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Accordingly, they are scheduled to visit the headquarters of the International Monetary Fund at Washington D.C., USA. Sri Lanka is expected to receive close to USD$ 4 billion if the discussions with the IMF are successful.

However, if Sri Lanka receives financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund, their recommendations will also have to be implemented in Sri Lanka.

Finance Minister Sabry had said previously that Sri Lanka is seeking a bail out package of $4 billion from the IMF.
