NAIROBI (Reuters) -Somalia's government has asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to extend its financial support by three months to Aug. 17, the head of the IMF's country mission told Reuters.
The Washington-based fund warned in February that Somalia's delayed legislative and presidential elections put the renewal of the three-year budget support programme, worth nearly $400 million, at risk of automatic expiration this month.
