The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has allocated the forex required for the US$ 500 million International Sovereign Bonds (ISB) that is maturing on January 18, Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal announced.
In a tweet, Cabraal said it was a shame that some investors lost out due to the organized negative stories spread by certain vested interests.
The Governor also clarified that the CBSL has not ordered banks to forcibly convert the balances in their customers’ forex accounts.
Taking to his official Twitter account, Cabraal refuted rumours spread by “some mischievous elements” claiming that banks have been given directives to do so.
