Sri Lanka repayments of ~$4.5bn in 2022 and has forex reserves worth $1.6bn at end-November. Media company CNA said that the low levels of forex reserves forced the central bank to draw on a $1.5bn yuan swap from China, to lift its reserves to $3.1bn at the end-December. Central bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal said in a tweet, “CBSL has allocated the required #Forex for the USD 500 million #ISB that is maturing on 18 Jan 22.
