in Sri Lanka The currency in Sri Lanka is the Rupee with an exchange
rate of around 120 Rupees for one U.S. Dollar. Some prices are similar to
European or American standards like for example $3 for a few oranges inside a
super market. Currently Sri Lankan banks such as the International HSBC
are offering interest rates for foreign currency deposits at 7% and more. Meanwhile
the inflation rate has gone down to the 15 % range. One bottle of Carlsberg
beer costs around $1,50 inside a store and around $3 - 6 in a pub or hotel. |
