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.
