Central Bank maintains Overnight Policy Rate at the current level
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at the current level
Summary
The current low level of inflation, at 1.6% (y-o-y) in February 2026, relative to the target of 5%, provides sufficient space to accommodate the impact of higher energy prices and their spillovers on inflation. Inflation is projected to remain around the target thereafter.
