Yes, the US Dollar has appreciated relative to the UK Pound. Not just our rupee.

But the currencies of Somalia is stronger than our rupee.

UK can afford minor changes but Sri Lanka can't afford even that. Excuses are for the losers.

I remember one time Sirisena said we are doing much better than Somalia and Ethiopia. Did he even screw that up too ?

If we can hit 205, that would be better, at least we will surpass our Cricket scores of today

It’s nothing to do with yahapalan. It’s a US political policy. But US dollar to collapse soon as this is an artificial bubble. It’s evident the way US stock market is now in decline trend. It’s dangerous to back US currency this is why governments across the globe now denouncing US$. The more we depend on US trade deeper the trouble to overcome. It’s best to start dealing with Chinese Yuan and back AU$ or Yuan as these currency shows clearly signs of growth against US$
