As foreign reserves slip, Sri Lanka to devalue currency Last Updated : 08 Mar 2022 04:23:11 PM IST Central Bank of Sri Lanka has allowed the country's rupee to devalue to 230 per US dollar considering the severity of the external shocks and recent developments domestically.
The bank said that it will closely monitor the emerging macroeconomic and financial market developments, both globally and domestically, and will stand ready to take further measures as appropriate, Xinhua news agency reported.
The aim is to achieve stability in inflation, the external sector, the financial sector, and real economic activity, according to the bank."In that context, greater flexibility in the exchange rate will be allowed to the markets with immediate effect. The central bank is also of the view that forex transactions would take place at levels which are not more than 230 rupees per US dollar," it said in a statement.Earlier the Sri Lankan rupee was pegged to the dollar at 200.A number of Sri Lankan economists have been urging the government to devalue the rupee in the past few months, stating that this policy was creating forex shortages and parallel exchange rates.IANS Colombo For Latest Updates Please-
