Reported reported agency AFP.
Sri Lanka has asked the IMF to provide loans in March 2009 to stimulate the economy in a global recession. All the negotiations were completed in April, but a loan from the IMF in Colombo, the capital of the island, have not received.

The group is fighting a war for an independent Tamil state in the north-east of the island since 1972.
According to the UN since the end of January 2009 in the area of hostilities in Sri Lanka killed about seven of thousands of innocent Tamils, and about 300 thousand refugees fled north-east. Government forces of Sri Lanka lost more than 6 thousand people killed, about 30 thousand soldiers were wounded. May 18, the Government formally announced the completion of military operations, and victory over the rebel movement.
The IMF resumed its lending to developing countries, actively to the growing credit crisis. In particular, the IMF has issued emergency loans to Ukraine, Iceland, Belarus, Latvia, Hungary, Pakistan and several other countries. In 2009, the IMF began to issue in the framework of flexible credit lines and those countries which have not yet been severely affected by the crisis, but may do so in the near future. For example, a credit to Mexico more than $ 40 billion, which was the biggest in the history of the IMF, is precisely the nature of the warning.
