Colombo (News 1st) - The Central Bank of Sri Lanka relaxes its Monetary Policy Stance in its latest Monetary Policy Review.
In a meeting held on Wednesday (31) the Monetary Board of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, decided to reduce the Standing Deposit Facility Rate (SDFR) and the Standing Lending Facility Rate (SLFR) of the Central Bank by 250 basis points to 13% and 14%, respectively.
The Board arrived at this decision with a view to easing monetary conditions in line with the faster than expected slowing of inflation, gradual dissipation of inflationary pressures and further anchoring of inflation expectations.
The commencing of such monetary easing is expected to provide an impetus for the economy to rebound from the historic contraction of activity witnessed in 2022, while easing pressures in the financial markets.
