Dullas Alahapperuma: IMF

Abstract

TRUE: It was in 1950 that we entered into an agreement with the IMF to obtain its membership. As a member country, from 1960 until now, we have carried out certain transactions with the IMF on 16 occasions. I recall that 2.5 billion dollars was obtained in 2008 during President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s tenure. That was the largest loan obtained from the IMF thus far. - Dullas Alahapperuma, Official Facebook Page of the Department of Government Information, 19 January 2022.
