(Reuters) – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it is hoping for a resolution to Sri Lanka’s political turmoil that will allow a resumption of talks for a bailout package after a violent day of protests.
Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will resign on
Wednesday after thousands of protesters stormed his official residence and
secretariat on Saturday, an official said. Protesters also set fire to Prime
Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s private residence.
“We hope for a resolution of the current situation that will
allow for resumption of our dialogue on an IMF-supported program,” the IMF said
in a statement.
