The IMF said Wednesday it was releasing $216.6 million in financing for Sri Lanka, applauding the government for strengthening the economy and macro-economic management.The total disbursed, after Wednesday's announcement, is $1.5 billion.
"The Sri Lankan authorities have made good progress under the Fund-supported programme and macroeconomic developments continue to be favourable," IMF deputy managing director Naoyuki Shinohara said in a statement.
"Growth is strengthening; inflation remains in check, despite some pressure in food and energy prices; and imports have recovered." (AFP)

Food prices are not the decisive factor anymore. Pls arrive in 21st Century Sri Lanka.
Ryan Thursday, 03 February 2011 08:36 AM
You asked IMF not to give it to Sri Lanka.
Calistus Jayatilleke Thursday, 03 February 2011 08:49 AM
So, that means the Plug is firmly in place inspite of some vociferous opponents to ties with IMF and World Bank in the government itself!
Shanil Thursday, 03 February 2011 02:15 AM
More debt for us youth to carry on our backs...wonderful.
Its ironic how there's such strong anti-US and anti-colonialist sentiment...but there's no issue with getting finance from the IMF.

What would you say if this was rejected ? Sure, you will make a statement here that this Govt. is uncapable of raising funds through foreign assistance. Wouldn't you ?
Nihal Amarasekera Thursday, 03 February 2011 04:16 AM
Timely endorsement for the government with local elections round the corner; with food & energy prices being the sticking point which could prove crucial in deciding the vote.

mal -kanthi, even US is depending on IMF and WB. --YOU MUST LEARN A LITTLE BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS

beggars can't be choosers. just accept the dire economical situation and be atleast somewhat grateful that some one is helping.
