COLOMBO: Sri Lanka’s commercial banks have been excluded from the nation’s local debt restructuring strategy, according to a person familiar with the matter, in a decision that may calm fears of instability in the financial system.

Instead, Sri Lanka’s superannuation funds will have rupee-denominated bonds held by them re-profiled with securities of coupon rates, which will vary from 9% to 12%, the person said, asking not to be identified as the details are still private.
