CB affirms rupee at 125
Denying media reports, the Central Bank affirmed that the exchange rate will stabilize below Rs.125 against the US dollar.
Reuters, quoting the Central Bank's Research Department head Swarna Gunewardena, said that that the rupee will stabilize around 132 against the US dollar, without the intervention.
"We wish to categorically deny this claim, which is completely inaccurate and a misinterpretation of facts by the reporter," the Central bank statement said.

Correct, Looks like CBSL governor and Treasury secretary do not know proper Economics and Finance. They are just confused or else they are trying to please the Finance minister by playing short term artificial gimmicks. Never heard of any country selling their $ reserves and buy back local currency and when local currency is in short supply printing those again.

Who gave you the right to make comments on behalf of others? If you want to believe what these idiots say, go ahead, but don't make us a party to it by saying "We believe you"

Whlst the rupee and the general public are floating, Cabraal with his clan and political masters have more than stabilized. Truly the Miracle of Asia.

By artificially propping up the ruppee, using foreign remittances and borrowings, imports are given preference over exports. Consumption and sale of foreign goods generate wealth for the favoured unproductive few, at the cost of the earnings of our future generations. (ie HJ) Ultimately consumption is favored over innoivative production. The rat race for foreign currency acquisition accelerates, Laziness thrives, partly caused by lack of opportunities to do ones bit for the country. Ultimately all of Sri Lanka may get mortgaged against foreign aid.

Government has no say on this matter this situation can only be improved through a foreign direct investment or by IMF loans. No one shouldn't forcast how currency rates would stand out, it shows that they are not aware of basic economic

We as a country need to get up and see how people around the world has developed. it is time to creat history and than talk history. To do all that first thing is that we need governance in Sri lanka at every level. Even at Central bank level and appointments are part of the governance process.

Indian rupee lost almost 25% of its value during last 12 months. Did Reserve Bank of India grumble about it? No. You can not keep the truth hidden. It has to come out one day. By giving contradicting statements, Central Bank of Sri Lanka and the Governor is adding fuel to the fire!! I feel sad about the Chief Economist of CBSL.

Unless CB intervene it will move and not even God can keep it constant. If CB think of intervening again it will be a failure as it happened some months back. This Cabral fellow is operating unprofessionally.
