<p>State Minister of Finance Shehan Semasinghe, yesterday, asked the Opposition not to disseminate false information, which was fraught with the danger of disrupting the economic recovery process, which had received a boost from the release by the IMF of another USD 336 million under its Extended Fund Facility (EFF) arrangement. Addressing the media, Semasinghe said he wondered whether the Opposition was resorting to an act of terrorism to cause an erosion of public confidence in the process of economic rebuilding.</p>
<p>The Executive Board of the IMF completed the second review under the 48-month EFF Arrangement, making available to Sri Lanka USD 336 million, which brings the total IMF financial support disbursed so far to more than USD 1 billion).
