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).

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.

Tourism (especially from Russia, India, UK, China) and remittances are recovering. CBSL targets 4-6% CPI inflation per Flexible Inflation-Targeting framework.
