The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday said that it has asked Sri Lanka to restructure its foreign debt before a bailout program could be finalized for the island nation, AFP reported.

Sri Lanka had approached the International Monetary Fund for a bailout after it had announced that it would default on its entire external debt worth $51 billion (over Rs 3.88 lakh crore).
