Bank of China has offered to loan Sri Lanka $300 million, Reuters reported Tuesday, because of what one source said was the country’s “difficulty in borrowing money after recent ratings downgrades.”
The report, which cited an anonymous source from Colombo, said the loan amount could be raised to $1 billion.
