Concerns and suggestions by Civil Society in relation to the IMF intervention in Sri Lanka

CEPA convened the meeting between selected civil society organisations (CSOs) that also included a few think tanks and the visiting delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This brief compiled by CEPA captures the main points presented by the participating organisations on the basis of the common governance and socio-economic themes raised in the discussion. Given the duration for the meeting, it was requested that participants avoid repeating issues that had been raised before. Hence, it is important to note that the highlighted issues here were endorsed by most participants; however, as there was a variation of specific measures proposed by the respective participants, these are mentioned separately. Relevant CSOs/Think Tanks are attributed, as required.
