The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) has recommended that Sri Lanka maintain engagement with the International Monetary Fund beyond March 2027, when the current Extended Fund Facility program ends.
In its Sri Lanka State of the Economy 2026 report released in early October, the think tank warned that the country faces a prolonged debt overhang of elevated borrowing costs and limited market access.
The IPS suggested a precautionary relationship or successor arrangement to serve as a credibility anchor, sustain policy discipline, and lower sovereign risk premia while structural reforms take root.
It also cautioned against premature commercial external borrowing, warning that sub-investment-grade ratings and external shocks could heighten rollover risks before reserve buffers and export earnings are sufficiently strengthened.
