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

Astonishing. @FranceatUN making the case the Common Framework is working, reading from an IMF script. Even where CF deals have been made, they've been deeply unfair to debtor countries - this is not good enough! #FfD4 offers the opportunity to do more, i.e creating a SDWM, today.

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 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.

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

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.
