The Central Bank of Sri Lanka launched the Sustainable Finance Roadmap 2.0 on 05 May 2025 at the Atrium of CBSL, marking a key milestone in its continued efforts to foster a climate-resilient and socially inclusive financial system.

The easing of deflationary conditions that commenced in March 2025 continued into April 2025, in line with the Central Bank’s near-term projections. Accordingly, headline inflation, as measured by the year-on-year (Y-o-Y) change in the Colombo Consumer Price Index (CCPI, 2021=100),  recorded a slower pace of deflation at 2.0% in April 2025 compared to the deflation of 2.6% recorded in March 2025.
