SRI LANKA IS GOING THROUGH A SOCIO-ECONOMIC CRISIS UNLIKE ANY OTHER IN ITS HISTORY#5Some past policy mistakes, the global COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting global crisis have stunted Sri Lanka's growth projections, leaving the country exposed to the consequences of the energy and food crisis The COVID-19 pandemic jeopardized the key engines of the country's economic growth, including domestic demand and the tourism sector, the awaited rebound was further halted by the subsequent energy and food crisis Yearly Real GDP Growth' In % y.o.y change Earnings from Tourism |(0.2%) 2019A I (3.5%) In USDm 4,000 3,682 -81% reduction 4.3% 3.5% 3.3% 3.3% 3,000 2,000 Covid-19 impact Economic crisis impact 2020A Real GDP Growth IMF World Economic Outlook 2021 2021P I 1,000 (8.7%) 2022F IMF World Economic Outlook 2019 • 0 Average 2015-19 893 682 507 2020 2021 Jan-Aug 2022 As the COVID-19 pandemic had an immediate impact on travel, Sri Lanka's tourism earnings, a key strength of the country, declined by over 80% in 2020, and have not recovered since ▸ The energy crisis has further exacerbated the difficulties Sri Lanka has been facing since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic shock, hampering the recovery of some key sectors while affecting local production and consumption through record-high energy prices and shortages of basic goods Sources: Central Bank of Sri Lanka, IMF Note: (1) Actual GDP data for 2019, 2020 and 2021 are based on rebased GDP estimates (100-2015)#6The severe economic downturn, weak Sri Lanka's revenues, rising health expenditure and energy needs led to a worsening of the fiscal situation While the decline in growth partly led to shrinking revenues, Sri Lanka had to increase spending to safeguard its population from a double pronged health and energy crisis Primary balance, revenues¹ and expenditures In LKRbn (Revenue and Expenditures, on left-hand axis) and in % of GDP (Primary balance) 1500 0.6% (500) (2500) (4500) 2018A (3.4%) (4.0%)² (4.3%) (5.7%) Over 2020 and 2021, Sri Lanka faced increasing expenditure needs, resulting from the need to finance its vaccination program, provide assistance to low-income citizens impacted by lockdowns and the general provision of healthcare facilities and medical equipment In 2022, the rise in global energy prices has derailed the country's expected recovery and further deteriorated public finances, as the Government had to intervene to protect its citizens from sky-high energy and food prices 2019A Revenue and Grants (LKRbn) 2020A 2021A Expenditures (LKRbn) 2022P Primary balance (%GDP) ▸ Sri Lanka's primary deficit widened in 2020 on the back of the unprecedented COVID shock and the necessary rise in public health spending.

FOLLOWING THE CRISIS, SRI LANKA HAS EMBARKED ON AN ACTION PLAN TO ADDRESS THE DIFFICULTIES IT FACES#10As its economic crisis worsened, Sri Lanka had to declare a moratorium on its external public debt As FX debt service payments became unfeasible in view of dire shortfalls in basic needs, the Authorities announced on 12 April 2022 an Interim Debt Policy to address this situation, whereby Sri Lanka suspended the servicing of affected external public debt obligations USD amounts safeguarded by the Interim Debt Policy In USDm, from 12 April 2022 to 30 June 2022 Focus on SLDBs' treatment during the Interim Debt Policy In USDm, Debt service on SLDBS, 12 April 2022 - 30 June 2022 Category Type of Safeguarded amounts of debt debt Interest Principal Total² Paid in USD USDM USDM USDM % of FX reserves4 % of import of essential Paid in LKR 96 goods5 Refinanced³ Local Law CG 25 217 242 13.3% 5.5% Pending Settlements CG 290 185 476 26.2% 10.8% Foreign Law SOES¹ 3 38 41 2.3% 0.9% Total debt service TOTAL 319 440 759 41.8% 17.3% 58 The Authorities have ensured that the ad-hoc treatment of SLDBs has not depleted FX reserves further 397 242 ▸ The Interim Debt Policy allowed to alleviate external liquidity pressure, giving some time for the country to engage with the IMF Sources: Central Bank of Sri Lanka, Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies Notes: (1) Guaranteed SOEs' debt, (2) All saving figures displayed are indicative and subject to changes further to the ongoing reconciliation exercise, (3) Maturities were extended through a refinancing of the outstanding instruments (4) Gross Official Reserves as at end July 2022 (USD 1,817m), including the swap from PBOC, (5) Jan-July 2022 total Import of essential goods was equivalent to USD 4.4bn 8#11Even faced with a complicated outlook, Sri Lanka took immediate measures to achieve a certain degree of normalcy with support from international partners... Immediately after the announcement on the moratorium, the Government and the Central Bank took the necessary steps to contain the economic impact of the foreign exchange crisis and assist the population, while obtaining some fundamental help from key partners The Government and the Central Bank did not hesitate to undertake key measures to come to the aid of the local population, including energy and living costs reductions: ○ The Government implemented measures to alleviate pressure on the most vulnerable citizens, including imposing price ceilings on essential food items, smoothing out the distribution of limited fuel stocks, cancelling farmer loans and distributing cash grants to the poor and vulnerable The Central Bank reacted swiftly to rising prices, hiking the key policy rates by 700bps in the April monetary policy meeting followed by a further tightening of 100bps in July 2022 О Sri Lanka received key financial and humanitarian aid from international partners, including (but not limited to): Immediate financial aid in the form of fuel lifelines to the Government, and swap lines signed with the Central Bank Loans, grants and humanitarian assistance focused on food, fuel and fertilizer provision, originating from key partners ▸ Even in a highly complicated outlook, the authorities were able to react quickly by announcing and implementing key fiscal reforms while reaching out to key partners for immediate and urgent help Sources: Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies, Central Bank of Sri Lanka 9#12... and simultaneously adopted a first batch of fiscal reforms that will be complemented by new measures implemented towards the 2023 budget The Government took courageous measures to restore public finance

Minimizing fiscal risks from SOEs e.g., cost-recovery based pricing for fuel and electricity (significant increases already implemented) Sources: Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies, Central Bank of Sri Lanka 10#13Showing their commitment to reform, the Authorities achieved a Staff-Level Agreement ("SLA") with the IMF in record time The SLA provides a clear roadmap in terms of policy implementation and will serve as an anchor for the economic recovery On September 1st, after months of negotiations and in a major step towards addressing the country's ongoing crisis, the Sri Lankan Authorities reached a Staff-level Agreement with the IMF Staff on a set of comprehensive economic policies supported by a 4-year US$2.9 billion Extended Fund Facility The objectives of the contemplated IMF program are: ○ An ambitious primarily revenue-based fiscal consolidation, accompanied by fiscal institutional reforms and cost-recovery based energy pricing, aimed at restoring fiscal sustainability and strengthening fiscal discipline О A stronger social safety net to protect the most vulnerable O O О A public debt management strategy aimed at restoring public debt sustainability A multipronged strategy to restore price stability and rebuild international reserves under greater exchange rate flexibility Commitment to greater central bank independence and to phase out monetary financing O Policies to safeguard financial system stability О Focused reforms to address governance and corruption vulnerabilities Broader structural reforms to unlock Sri Lanka's growth potential The agreement is subject to the approval of the IMF management and its Executive Board, after the timely implementation by the Authorities of a set of Prior Actions and the provision by official creditors of assurances to assist Sri Lanka in restoring public debt sustainability Sources: Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies, Central Bank of

Absent such debt treatment, none of the above assumptions should materialize, leading to a far worse macro-fiscal framework and therefore further deteriorated debt trajectory Sources: Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies, Central Bank of Sri Lanka, IMF Notes: (1) The above DSA trajectory reflects a "pre-restructuring scenario" (i.e., a DSA scenario assuming the IMF program's adjustment path and foreseen multilateral financing and in which the remaining financing gap is financed with an illustrative 10% interest rate debt instrument), (2) CG Debt/GDP and CG GFN/GDP indicators are not presented on the same scale 14#17Sri Lanka's Public Debt is multifaceted...

NEXT STEPS AND LOGISTICS#22Financing assurances from bilateral creditors are required as a pre-requisite to the IMF Board adoption of the Program The IMF does not lend to countries whose debt is deemed unsustainable, requiring Sri Lanka to undertake an upfront comprehensive debt treatment. In practice, this requires financing assurances to be given by the bilateral creditors, resulting in a sufficient level of comfort to the IMF that bilateral creditors will support Sri Lanka's efforts to restore public debt sustainability FOR PUBLIC CREDITORS What are financing assurances? Bilateral financing assurances are a commitment from official bilateral creditors to grant Sri Lanka a debt treatment compatible with the macroeconomic framework and debt sustainability constraints underpinning the contemplated IMF program. They are the flagship step to the IMF being able to move forward with a program for Sri Lanka Aug. 2022 Sep. Oct. What does it mean for private creditors? Private financing assurances are considered as obtained by the IMF once Sri Lanka is making a "good faith" effort to reach a collaborative agreement with its private creditors, defined as: • Engaging in early dialogue Sharing relevant information on a timely basis Giving creditors the early opportunity to provide input in the framework underpinning the debt restructuring From SLA to mid-November 2022 • Window to obtain financing assurances from public and private partners before IMF Board Approval, envisaged for mid-December Nov. Dec. Jan. 2023 SLA O IMF Board Approval 20#23Authorities are currently promoting the formation of an ad-hoc bilateral creditor coordination platform. To expedite the process of obtaining financing assurances from official bilateral creditors, the authorities of Sri Lanka encourage the formation of a unique ad-hoc coordination platform for all bilateral creditors 888 The most effective way to obtain the financing assurances quickly is the creation of an ad-hoc bilateral creditor coordination platform allowing the official bilateral creditors to give their financing assurances to the IMF collectively after having debated among themselves, with the IMF and the Government of Sri Lanka on the general contours of the debt treatment required to support the restoration of debt sustainability Benefits of such structure include: Deliver financing assurances and validate the IMF program through a fast-track solution, allowing Sri Lanka's economy to recover Position all bilateral creditors on an equal footing for accessing relevant information Enable a suitable forum for the negotiation of the bilateral debt restructuring Offer a forum for discussions on emergency credit lines amongst creditors themselves Increase trust and build an environment for constructive discussions The creation of an ad-hoc bilateral creditor coordination platform would offer a direct mean of communication to all bilateral creditors, expediting Sri Lanka's obtention of required financing assurances from bilateral creditors#24Expected timeline for the Debt Restructuring Process September Q4 2022 • Staff Level agreement (✓) . Engagement with official creditors in view of securing assurances to restore debt sustainability • Preliminary information sharing with creditors under NDA¹ • Follow-up technical discussions with IMF Staff, notably on the DSA IMF Board Approval 2023 Q2 2023 Finalization of the discussions Legal implementation of the agreements 1st IMF review 2022 SLA August 2022 • IMF Staff Mission End Q4 2022-Q1/Q2 2023 Pursued information sharing efforts with all creditors • Negotiations with private and official creditors on restructuring terms compliant with IMF DSA targets and comparable across the different creditor categories Reaching agreements in principle with all creditors Authorities' objectives Source: Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies Note: (1) Information and data could be shared to private creditors prior to IMF Board Approval but only under Non-Disclosure Agreements ("NDA") 22#25Contact Information • • The Sri Lankan Authorities thank all creditors and attendees of this presentation for their kind attention If creditors are interested in obtaining more information and engaging in discussions with the Government, please contact Sri Lanka's Financial Advisors Lazard Frères and Legal Advisor Clifford Chance at the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected] for any request or other inquiry they may have Creditors wishing to contact the International Bondholder Committee can do so at the following e-mail address: [email protected] and [email protected] • Creditors wishing to contact the Local Bondholder Committee can do so at the following e-mail address: [email protected] • • This presentation and the follow up Q&A document, including answers to questions raised in writing following this webcast, will be posted on the Ministry of Finance, Economic Stabilization and National Policies' website We invite all bondholders to participate in the identification exercise to be launched shortly in cooperation with Morrow Sodali • Visit the following website https://projects.morrowsodali.com/srilanka or contact the following email [email protected] to participate in the identification exercise 23
