Today’s official exchange rates released

The Sri Lanka Rupee remains steady after fluctuating over the last few days.

As per the foreign currency exchange rates issued for today, very minimal to no changes have been reported. 

The Rupee saw a significant depreciation against several currencies, reaching over Rs.300 against the Sterling Pound and crossing the Rs. 2 mark against the Japanese Yen for the first time on Monday (06).

However, the Rupee was reported to have appreciated against the currencies yesterday (07), reporting a drastic drop in the rates.

According to forex dealers, the appreciation had taken place after the Central Bank had ordered the banks to reduce the rates, which meant the rates dropped significantly, although currencies are not available to be purchased at this rate in the market.

The Rupee today remains steady maintaining almost the same rates as reported yesterday. (NewsWire)
