Asian Insider S1E44: Troubled Sri Lanka asks IMF for financial support: Regional Round-up
Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses South-east Asia's top news developments in this weekly podcast.
Dr. Oh Ei Sun, senior fellow at Singapore Institute of International Affairs, stands in for The Straits Times' regional correspondent Leslie Lopez who is on leave, and he chats with Money FM 89.3's Elliot Danker.
In this week's episode, we discuss the latest news of troubled Sri Lanka making a request to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Rapid Financing Instrument (RFI) support to mitigate supply chain issues.
Taiwan records a spike in Covid-19 cases recently and the Indonesian government's latest survey reveals that almost all Indonesians have developed antibodies against Covid-19.
