Dr. Gita Gopinath

The International Monetary Fund’s First Deputy Managing Director (FDMD) Dr. Gita Gopinath is scheduled to visit Sri Lanka from 15 to 16 June 2025.

This visit is significant, as it marks the first time since 2005 that a serving FDMD of the IMF visits Sri Lanka.

During this visit, Dr. Gopinath will be the Guest Of Honour at the conference on “Sri Lanka’s Road to Recovery: Debt and Governance”, jointly co-hosted by the Ministry of Finance, Central Bank of Sri Lanka and the IMF, on 16 June 2025.

At the mid-point of the IMF-supported reform program, the conference aims to reflect upon the lessons learnt from Sri Lanka’s experience in restoring macroeconomic stability, implementing debt restructuring and governance reforms, and to focus on the challenges ahead.

Additionally, FDMD is expected to hold bilateral discussions with the Sri Lankan authorities and several key stakeholders on the IMF’s engagement with Sri Lanka.
