Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa said today in Parliament that the behavior of the Sri Lankan government during the debt restructuring negotiations held with the International Monetary Fund is questionable.
The leader of the opposition also pointed out that a number of states that received the support of the International Monetary Fund, like us, obtained financial facilities without agreeing to restructure their domestic debt. The Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa said in the Parliament that the State of Chad in 2105, the State of Moldova in 2002, and the Dominican Republic in 2005 obtained financial facilities without restructuring their domestic debt.
In spite of that, he said that it is surprising that Sri Lanka is the only one to go through a debt reform where public funds such as pensions and employee welfare fund are in jeopardy.
