The review says the USD 808 million figure appears in the IMF report under “Errors and Omissions,” a balance-of-payments accounting line, and is also recorded by Sri Lanka’s Central Bank. It reports that the figure is a statistical reconciliation, not evidence that funds went missing or were stolen.[S1]
