Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 declares bankruptcy!

The Sri Lankan Government yesterday signaled Sri Lanka was bankrupt, announcing a temporary suspension of repayment of all external debt as of yesterday, saying the country can no longer honour its commitment owing to poorer financial position caused by external and internal shocks.

Sri Lanka also urged its citizens overseas to send home money to help pay for desperately needed food and fuel Wednesday after announcing a default on its US$51 billion foreign debt.

The island nation is in the grip of its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948, with severe shortages of essential goods and regular blackouts causing widespread hardship.

Authorities are weathering intense public anger and spirited protests demanding the government's resignation ahead of negotiations for an International Monetary Fund bailout.
