The International Monetary Fund hopes to complete rescue talks with Sri Lanka "as quickly as possible," Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said on Wednesday, hours before the crisis-hit South Asian nation elected a new president.

Speaking with Nikkei Asia in Tokyo, Georgieva said the fund was “very deeply concerned about the well-being of the people in Sri Lanka,” which has been gripped by severe shortages of fuel, food and other essentials after its foreign reserves dried up.

Now that Gota is not there any President will get the aid to develop the country. The Eastet Sunday curse and the killing of 265 persons by Gota is what we have been reaping. Now things will be prosperous

This is a good news.RW’s elevation to the office of the president is a good shift in Sri Lanka’s constitutional process and RW is the good choice at this critical stage and international financial institutions is aware of his credentials.

South Asian nation did not select a president but existing 255 parliamentarians selected him. When reporting news be more responsible please.

IMF money if and when it finally arrives is not going to rescue us from future decades of poverty, misery and beggar status. We have fully squandered the future bequeathed to us 70 years ago

Aid is good but loan is repayable with interest.

It is better to getting delayed in IMF Fund. If we received already we would have been spent already and looking for another bailout.
