Sri Lanka Holds Rates, Signals Readiness on Inflation

Original: Sri Lanka Holds Rates, Signals Readiness to Tackle Inflation

Sri Lanka's central bank has kept its key interest rates unchanged while signalling it stands ready to act against inflation if price pressures resurface. The decision keeps borrowing costs steady after a period of aggressive tightening, and the bank's statement emphasises vigilance on price stability. It is being watched as a sign of how the country's economic recovery and monetary policy are settling following its recent crisis and IMF-backed stabilisation programme.

Why now: Markets are tracking whether Sri Lanka's economy is stabilising enough for the central bank to hold rather than hike rates.
