Bloomberg - Debt-for-nature swaps could be Sri Lanka’s first opportunity to raise funds after restructuring its debt, the country’s central bank Governor P. Nandalal Weerasinghe said.

“That is a better form of medium-to-long term financing for the time being without going for full commercial external debt,” he said during a panel discussion moderated by Bloomberg’s Jeanette Rodrigues in Colombo on Thursday. There’s investor interest in Sri Lanka doing such swaps, but it’s a decision that rests with the government, he said.
