COLOMBO (Reuters) -Sri Lanka’s central bank kept its overnight policy rate unchanged on Wednesday to support steady growth ahead of the country’s budget and the visit of a delegation from the International Monetary Fund for its latest review.
The Central Bank of Sri Lanka held the overnight policy rate at 7.75%.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, who also serves as finance minister, will present the 2026 budget on November 7, which is expected to outline plans for record capital expenditure.
