The meetings scheduled for yesterday between International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde and Sri Lankan delegation has been postponed due to a snowstorm in Washington.
Non Cabinet Minister of Economic Reforms and Public Distribution Dr. Harsha De Silva who is a member of the Sri Lankan delegation in a tweet said that all meetings at the IMF have been put off due to snowstorm in Washington.
“All meetings, including the one Sri Lanka was to have with IMF Managing Director Lagarde have been rescheduled as ‘snow storm’ forces them to close the IMF office,” Dr de Silva tweeted.
“Having lived in US Midwest previously, I am surprised how such little snow can shut the Capital down. Jan 14, 2019: Repayment of USD 1 billion ISB MR borrowed due today,” he added.
