January 22, Colombo (LNW): A team from the International Monetary Fund is due to touch down in Sri Lanka today (22), beginning a short mission focused on the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah and the country’s ongoing economic recovery.
During the visit, IMF officials are expected to tour affected areas and meet government representatives to gain a clearer picture of the storm’s toll on communities, infrastructure and key sectors of the economy.
Discussions will centre on how the authorities have responded to both the immediate humanitarian needs and the broader economic disruptions triggered by the cyclone. The delegation is scheduled to remain in the country until January 28.
Alongside the disaster assessment, the mission follows the IMF’s completion of the fifth evaluation under Sri Lanka’s extended funding facility.
