An International Monetary Fund (IMF) country team, led by Sri Lanka Mission Chief Evan Papageorgiou, is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka from September 10–23 to review the country's economic progress and structural reforms.

The upcoming two-week visit will focus on two major objectives, conducting the Seventh Review of Sri Lanka’s reform program supported by the IMF’s Extended Fund Facility (EFF), and carrying out the 2026 Article IV Consultation to assess the country’s economic developments, policies, and stability.

During the mission, the IMF team plans to meet and engage with Sri Lankan authorities as well as a broad spectrum of stakeholders. These discussions will cover recent economic developments, the implementation of the reform agenda, and longer-term structural issues facing the nation.

In his public statement, Mission Chief Evan Papageorgiou expressed anticipation for "constructive discussions" and confirmed that the team will share its findings and conclusions at the end of the visit.
