国际货币基金组织亚洲及太平洋部副部长索纳利·詹恩-钱德拉周四表示,该基金随时准备以斯里兰卡所希望的、适当的方式提供支持。

她在曼谷举行的国际货币基金组织会议期间的新闻发布会上称,斯里兰卡的宏观经济形势“有所改善”,财政表现非常强劲,债务重组基本完成。她还表示,在治理等结构性问题上也取得了重要进展。

The International Monetary Fund stood ready to support Sri Lanka "in any way they desired, as appropriate," Sonali Jain-Chandra, deputy director of its Asia and Pacific Department, said on Thursday.

本月早些时候,国际货币基金组织工作人员级别代表团与斯里兰卡就其扩大基金融资安排下的第七次审议达成协议,以释放约3.45亿美元的融资。审议完成后,斯里兰卡将能够使用相当于约3.45亿美元的特别提款权。詹恩-钱德拉表示,该协议将在未来几周由国际货币基金组织董事会审议,随后将开展另一次审议任务,以便在该计划于3月到期前完成。

除了该协议,国际货币基金组织将继续与斯里兰卡当局保持接触,包括通过新的金融安排提供支持,并以监督或能力建设形式提供政策建议,詹恩-钱德拉如是说。

Sri Lanka's macroeconomic situation is "much improved," with its fiscal performance very strong and debt restructuring largely complete, Jain-Chandra said in a press conference during the IMF meetings in Bangkok She also said important improvements were made on structural issues, including governance Earlier this month, the IMF reached a staff-level agreement with Sri Lanka on the seventh review under its Extended Fund Facility to unlock financing of about $345 million Upon completion of the review, Sri Lanka will have access to the IMF's special drawing rights equivalent to about $345 million Jain-Chandra said the agreement will be considered by the IMF's board in the coming weeks and will be followed by another review mission to take place before the programme expires in March Beyond the agreement, the IMF will continue to engage with Sri Lanka's authorities, including support through a new financial arrangement and policy advice in the form of surveillance or capacity development, Jain-Chandra said
