The Central Bank yesterday said that so far this year, $ 2.1 billion worth of debt service payments have been made on account of Sri Lanka Development Bonds (SLDBs) and foreign currency loans from domestic banks.

It said that debt service payments, interest and capital are being met in a timely manner on account of SLDBs and foreign currency loans from domestic banks, as well as all other debt obligations of the Government.

“The Government has no intention of tarnishing its unblemished debt service record by delaying the settlement of maturing debt obligations,” the Central Bank said in a statement.
