High Debt Alert
Sri Lanka's debt-to-GDP of 73.5% exceeds the 70% high-risk threshold. Historical analysis shows a 40% probability of debt restructuring within 5 years at these levels.
Import Cover Critical
Sri Lanka's foreign exchange reserves cover only 2.9 months of imports, well below the 3-month minimum threshold. This leaves the economy highly vulnerable to external payment shocks and currency crises.
In Debt Distress
Sri Lanka is currently classified as being in debt distress, meaning it is already experiencing difficulty meeting its debt obligations. Immediate restructuring or emergency financing may be required.
