About Nepalese Rupee ()

The Nepalese Rupee (NPR, ISO 4217 code 524, symbol ₨ or Rs) is the official currency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, issued by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB, est. 1956). Subdivided into 100 paisa. Banknotes: ₨5, ₨10, ₨20, ₨50, ₨100, ₨500, ₨1,000 (the highest denomination; current 'Nepal Rastra Bank' series features Nepalese landscapes and wildlife including Mount Everest, the Bengal tiger, and traditional Nepali themes); coins: ₨1, ₨2, ₨5, ₨10. The Nepalese rupee has been pegged to the Indian rupee at NPR1.6 per INR since February 12, 1993 — making NPR effectively a managed proxy for INR. Nepal abolished its 240-year-old monarchy in 2008 and became a federal democratic republic. The country is sandwiched between India (south, east, west) and China (north — the Himalayan border) and is heavily dependent on remittances (~25-30% of GDP) from migrant workers in Gulf states, Malaysia, and India. Nepal contains 8 of the world's 10 highest peaks (Mount Everest 8,848m, Kangchenjunga 8,586m, Lhotse 8,516m, Makalu 8,481m, Cho Oyu 8,201m, Dhaulagiri 8,167m, Manaslu 8,163m, Annapurna I 8,091m). Tourism contributes ~7% of GDP.

About Sri Lankan Rupee ()

The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR, ISO 4217 code 144, symbol ₨ or SLR) is the official currency of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, issued by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL, est. 1950). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in circulation). Banknotes: Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500, Rs.1,000, Rs.5,000 (the highest denomination; current series introduced 2010-2011 features Sri Lankan cultural and biodiversity themes — Sigiriya, Buddhist temples, Sri Lankan birds and butterflies); coins: Rs.1, Rs.2, Rs.5, Rs.10. Sri Lanka experienced its worst economic crisis since independence in 2022 — sovereign default on April 12, 2022 (the first in Sri Lanka's history), severe fuel/food/medicine shortages, mass protests forcing the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa July 9, 2022, IMF Extended Fund Facility $3 billion approved March 2023, and LKR depreciation from ~Rs.200/USD pre-crisis to ~Rs.360/USD peak. Tourism (especially from Russia, India, UK, China) and remittances are recovering. CBSL targets 4-6% CPI inflation per Flexible Inflation-Targeting framework. Sri Lanka's external debt restructuring with India + China + Paris Club creditors remained ongoing as of 2024.
