Gotabaya Rajapaksa: International Sovereign Bonds

Abstract

PARTLY TRUE: Every month we have to repay the loans that previous governments had obtained for various reasons. On ISBs, by 2015, we had only taken out USD 5 billion worth of them. During the time of the previous government, USD 15 billion worth of ISBs were taken out. Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Headlinenews.lk, 26 February 2022.
