The Indian Rupee conversion rate to Sri Lankan Rupees

Read this article for getting knowledge about the exchange rate, trends and other factors of The Indian Rupee conversion rate to Sri Lankan Rupees.

The Sri Lankan economy has had a turbulent fiscal year for 2019. Starting off as strong in early January, the economy took a dive in April. This was caused by the terror attacks that took place on Easter Sunday. Widely regarded as a racial attack, this caused the economy to suffer greatly in the coming months, however, as of November 2019, the country’s economy has shown to be stable once again.

Thus, naturally as the economy declined, the foreign exchange rates for the rupee took a hit as well. There are several factors that influence the exchange rate of a country’s currency. However, the most common reasons are usually the following:

Inflation

Lower inflation rates cause a currency appreciation and vice versa. Sri Lanka has had a consistent inflation rate of 5% over the past few years, this has caused the currency to have a consistent depreciation.

Recession

Countries facing an economic decline may have further issues as their currency depreciates in turn. This is because the country’s GDP also drops, deterring foreign investment and a demand for their currency.

Political events

Political events and performance in general play a huge role in currency value, this is because it directly influences a foreign investors view of the country. Thus, political instability has been seen to cause mass currency depreciations.

Government Debt

A country’s government debt also influences a foreign investor’s decision to invest capital into a country. As such, countries with a large national debt may face downward spikes in the value of their currency.

India lies just north of Sri Lanka, the two countries are only separated by a stretch of water. As such, the two countries have enjoyed mutually beneficial relations with each other. They even share the same currency name- the rupee. On a census conducted on Sri Lankan nationals, an overwhelming 96% had no negative feelings towards India, in fact, India is Sri Lanka’s biggest trade partner, both the countries are also member of the commonwealth of nations. While the countries did have rocky relations due to the civil war in Sri Lanka. However, relations improved drastically between the two countries in 2015. This is because India signed a nuclear pact with Sri Lanka.
