Reuters reveals Sri Lanka central bank chief signals he will stay in job, warns turmoil impedes IMF talks

Reuters shed light into how Sri Lanka’s central bank governor P. Nandalal Weerasinghe signalled on Monday he would stay in the job but warned that prolonged political instability in the country may delay progress on negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout package. Weerasinghe, who has been holding bailout talks with the IMF since taking office in April, had told reporters in May he could resign if there was no political stability in the island nation of 22 million that is facing its worst economic crisis in seven decades.
