Colombo, June 26 : Sri Lanka will have a five-day bank holiday from June 29 to July 3 to provide time for domestic debt restructuring, an official said.
The restructuring affects government bonds in line with an IMF bailout agreed in March, after Sri Lanka defaulted on its foreign debt in April last year and declared bankruptcy.
A parliamentary official said lawmakers were expected to meet on Tuesday to discuss holding a special session of the legislature later this week to approve debt restructure plans.
