Sri Lanka secured a much-anticipated loan of about $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund as the South Asian nation navigates its worst financial crisis in decades.

The deal, nearly a year in the making, will aim to “restore macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability” and “unlock Sri Lanka’s growth potential,” the IMF said in a statement. The island nation of 22 million was rocked by weeks of unrest last year caused by crippling food, fuel and medicine shortages after its foreign exchange reserves plummeted to record lows, with dollars running out to pay for essential imports.

” The program will be “imperative to improving Sri Lanka’s standing in and access to international capital markets, and it will demonstrate that Sri Lanka is once again a country attractive to talent, investors and tourists,” he said. The loan will be provided through the IMF’s Extended Fund Facility , a mechanism set up to provide financial assistance to struggling countries.
