IMF has agreed to bailout Sri Lanka but testing times lie ahead

ThePrint view on the most important issues.

   

Even though the IMF’s agreed to bail out economically-devastated Sri Lanka, the country’s far from safe harbour. The IMF requires that foreign creditors agree to restructure Lanka’s debts. Big-lender China, though, is reluctant to share the burden. The IMF’s also demanded tough fiscal and policy reforms. Testing times lie ahead.
