Colombo, November 07 (Daily Mirror)- President Anura Kumara Dissanayake expressed hope that Sri Lanka will receive the third tranche under the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF) by the end of January or early February next year.

He told a TV programme that the IMF delegation is set to arrive in the country next week (14) and it usually takes around three months to complete the third review.

The President said the third review was delayed due to the two elections and added that if the third review had commenced in September as scheduled earlier, then it could have been completed by December.

He said the government expects some economic stability after receiving the third tranche.

You guys opposed the IMF program and voted against it in Parliament. Then why hang on to it?. Hanging on to this program will not help you to fulfil any promises you gave on the election platform. Find an alternative or renegotiate as promised
