Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa stated that his party could renegotiate the current IMF agreement to benefit the people, something the past and present governments failed to do. Addressing a gathering in Borella, Premadasa emphasized that even from the opposition, SJB has engaged in multiple discussions with the IMF, reaching several understandings.
He further noted that the economic situation remains challenging, with Sri Lanka struggling with debt repayments scheduled from 2028, requiring a robust economic growth strategy.
“Government may not be able to renegotiate, but we can,” Sajith says his party had already reached an agreement to revise Sri Lanka’s agreements with the IMF. pic.twitter.com/ytU4tGRYlc
