Harsha hails EFF facility, says reform is key

SJB MP Harsha de Silva yesterday took to twitter to praise President Ranil Wickremesinghe for spearheading efforts to get the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement for Sri Lanka from the IMF.

“Relieved IMF has approved Sri Lanka EFF facility. The commitment of President Ranil Wickremesinghe to get the job done is appreciated notwithstanding our political differences. Professionalism of Central Bank and ST in the process must be commended. If the previous lot did this in 2020 our people would not have suffered this way. We could have come out with much less pain. Their arrogance and greed finally bankrupted us. Let’s look forward. Debt restructuring will be hard. Reform is key. Sustainable solution is to break down walls and build bridges to the world” he said.
