(London) REUTERS: Sri Lanka’s dollar-denominated bonds tumbled yesterday after President Maithripala Sirisena dissolved Parliament on Friday night and called a general election for January 5 in a move that will likely deepen the country’s political crisis.
The 2020 issue fell as much as 2.7 cents to 94.98 cents, its lowest level since at least January 2017 with bid yields soaring to record levels of more than 9 percent, according to the Refinitiv Eikon data.
