Sri Lanka forms advisory group to assist with IMF talks

COLOMBO (Reuters) – Sri Lanka has appointed a three-member advisory group to assist government officials engaging with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the president said on Wednesday, as the island nation looks to get through a severe economic crisis.
