The governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka warned that the massive political unrest in the country is endangering bailout talks with the International Monetary Fund.

P Nandalal Weerasinghe told Reuters on July 11 that he would stay in office but said Sri Lanka needed to install a new government. Both president Gotabaya Rajapaksa and prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe have said they will leave office after massive demonstrations over Sri Lanka’s economic crisis this weekend.
