Sri Lanka Secures Another US$695 Million from IMF 🇱🇰

⭕ The IMF Executive Board has completed the combined 5th and 6th reviews of Sri Lanka’s EFF programme.

⭕ This gives Sri Lanka immediate access to SDR 508 million, equal to around US$695 million.

⭕ IMF says Sri Lanka’s reform performance remains “generally strong.”

⭕ All end-December 2025 quantitative performance targets were met.

⭕ However, IMF noted that Sri Lanka did not observe the continuous conditions on avoiding new external payment arrears and not imposing or intensifying import restrictions.

⭕ Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 now has roughly 2 tranches/review cycles left under the current IMF EFF programme.

⭕ The IMF programme is a 4-year arrangement running from March 2023 to 2027. After the combined 5th and 6th reviews, about US$2.4 billion has been disbursed out of the total ~US$3 billion facility. Around US$600 million remains.
