@dj4slCalling for cancellation of Sri Lanka’s sovereign debts. Debt restructuring alone is not a sustainable solution. Reckless private lenders must also pay.

Check this Daily FT guest column by Charith Gunawardena. If the SL govt had gone to the negotiating table with the popular mandate it has now, perhaps we would have got a better deal.
Sri Lanka’s new @NPPSLOfficial @anuradisanayake government should protect itself from “hybrid warfare” and “colour revolutions”.
DOCUMENTS LEAKED THIS week reveal that the US is secretly working on a massive political interference operation in Cambodia. Washington is using the exact same methods it used to create civil unrest in Hong Kong in 2019, and Bangkok in 2020, and in Moldova and Bangladesh this…
Sri Lanka too has lessons to learn here. Austerity policies can push the country into the hands of the far-right (or nationalists). @anuradisanayake @NPPSLOfficial needs to carefully navigate the harsh conditionalities imposed by @IMFNews @IsabellaMWeber @Jayati1609
Economics professor @IsabellaMWeber explains what it means to create an economic policy that protects people’s essential needs and doesn’t push them into the arms of the far right.
.@IMFNews team will be on a visit to Colombo to meet @anuradisanayake & his team to discuss the latest economic developments & reforms. It’s an opportunity for Sri Lanka to initiate a renegotiation process centred around well-being, fairness & sustainability. @Dr_HariniA @cbsl
Sri Lanka’s new president @anuradisanayake could now review all details of the negotiations with @IMFNews and make a case for renegotiation. The wellbeing of people takes precedence over interests of external creditors. @cbsl @Brad_Setser @TheoMaret youtu.be/5kEAKJiX6_Q?si…
The people of Sri Lanka vote for progressive change, rejecting austerity and demanding a changed approach to the IMF and bondholders, as well as to economic strategies for development. A time of challenges, but also hope!
An election something from me, about the hypocrisy, illiteracy and degeneracy of Lanka's elites & their mouthpieces, all on display (*gestures around wildly at #lka twitter*) with the anti-NPP Red Scare they have, quite needlessly, created for themselves. ft.lk/opinion/Elite-…
An excellent webinar by @yukthitv “I do worry that Sri Lanka is being set up to encounter renewed financial trouble in 5 years from now” @Brad_Setser @imfnews agreement benefits external bondholders over citizens. @erlassjahr @eurodad @debtjustice youtu.be/zFgtwOblz0I

Sri Lanka’s agreement with the IMF based on a framework for “Market Access Countries” - Debt Sustainability Analysis - must be renegotiated for a sustainable solution to its debt crisis. @RW_SRILANKA @anuradisanayake @sajithpremadasa @RajapaksaNamal @cbsl ipe-sl.org/wp-content/upl…

Joseph Cotterill of the FT seems keen on Sri Lanka’s macro linked bond. I am not. Three (major) problems not mentioned in the FT article: 1) It is linked to the wrong variable; 2) The payoffs are asymmetric; 3) It doesn’t generate debt sustainability 1/ many
Sri Lanka’s Debt Restructuring. The financial interests of external bondholders are being protected ahead of all other stakeholders by government representatives. Why? @IMFNews @cbsl @Clifford_Chance @Lazard @RW_UNP @debtjustice @eurodad @AsianPeoplesMvt @Jayati1609
The unjust global economic order & USA privilege of printing global reserve currency, works against the interest of the Global South. Not only should SL avoid $ ISBs in the next 7 years, it needs to renegotiate the IMF deal to design a truly sustainable solution for debt crisis.
In Sri Lanka's case, the gov (I mean anyone who wins election) should simply forget issuing any Eurobonds for the next 7 years or so. It is clear from bondholders proposal that cost of borrowing is extremely high even if those are state-contingent debt instruments.
IMF agreement should be renegotiated. @RW_UNP @sajithpremadasa @anuradisanayake @MASumanthiran @HarshadeSilvaMP @melanirgk @KusumW @NPPSLOfficial @sjbsrilanka @Dhanusha #CancelSriLankaDebt

A new, fairly technical piece, on a topic that I care deeply about: defining the technical parameters for a sovereign debt restructuring. (a topic that is too important to be left solely to the IMF) 1/ cfr.org/blog/imf-needs…
