Finance Minister Ali Sabry would make a statement in Parliament explaining the Road Map to recover from the present crisis, once he returns from Washington after concluding discussions with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Leader of the House Dinesh Gunawardena said yesterday.
He told Parliament that the Finance Minister would provide a detailed update on the progress of the discussions with the IMF.
He said this when Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa urged the government to present the Road Map of the government as to how the burning issues of the people could be resolved.
Minister Gunawardena said the Finance Minister was currently engaged in successful discussions with the IMF and the World Bank and added that another round of discussion was scheduled for today.
He said the government was not in a position to present the Road Map to recover from the present crisis without finalising the discussions with the IMF.
He said the government was ready to summon a special Parliament session before the scheduled sessions if needed for this purpose.
