Central Bank warns against misleading claims on currency printing and exchange rates

Colombo, May 25 (Daily Mirror) - The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has issued a stern advisory urging the general public to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to misleading statements regarding core economic policies, specifically money printing and exchange rate determination.

In an official public notice titled "Do Not Be Deceived!", the CBSL said that complex economic mechanisms—such as the printing of currency, managing the national money supply, and the determination of foreign exchange rates—are highly technical matters. The bank stressed that these processes require specialized technical knowledge to be properly analyzed and understood.

The CBSL cautioned citizens against being swayed or misled by superficial and inaccurate narratives currently circulating.
