The UNP rejected the
statement made by the Central Bank that Sri Lanka will not pursue an IMF
programme considering its external reserves stating that it is rather the IMF
that has rejected granting Sri Lanka any loans.
UNP General Secretary
MP Tissa Attanayake stated that the government had taken loans from the IMF,
China and other private banks which had put the country in severe debt.
He added that given
Sri Lankas situation and the fact that the IMF will not be granting loans to the
country, the government is attempting to make excuses and put a positive spin
on the situation.
MP Attanayake stated
that the Central Bank is trying to suggest that the country will not take any more
loans from the IMF.
