During her three-day tour, the Managing Director is expected to engage in high-level discussions with government authorities and key stakeholders. The primary focus of the mission is to witness firsthand the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah, which struck the island in late December, displacing hundreds of thousands and causing significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture.
"The Managing Director will engage with authorities and stakeholders, witness firsthand the impact of Cyclone Ditwah, and discuss how the IMF can support recovery and help build a stronger future for all Sri Lankans," an IMF spokesperson stated.
