Ranil Wickremesinghe: Debt restructuring

Abstract

TRUE: Programme financing gaps: debt service reduction during 2023-27 should be sufficient to close external financing gaps. Under staff baseline scenario, US$17 billion in debt service reduction is required, including the arrears accumulated in 2022 So, we are trying to get a 17 billion debt reduction on that side. Do you want it or not. Ranil Wickremesinghe, Parliament Hansard, 6 April 2023
