The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) publishes daily exchange rates to guide foreign currency transactions. These include the buying rate (what banks pay for foreign currency) and the selling rate (what banks charge customers). CBSL also issues a spot indicative rate, showing the average USD/LKR rate in the inter-bank market. This helps businesses, travellers, and remitters stay updated and make informed decisions.
