Inflation in Sri Lanka
Nationwide inflation eased sharply to 33.6% in April from 49.2% in March. A stronger currency likely helped bring down price pressures in the month. Inflation should cool further this year due to lower pressure on the currency. The key factors to monitor are commodity prices plus fiscal and monetary policy.
