Sri Lanka’s foreign reserves dip in June amid decline in currency holdings

Date:

July 08, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka’s official reserves experienced a noticeable contraction in June 2025, as reported by the Central Bank in its latest update on key economic indicators.

The total value of reserve assets stood at US$ 6.08 billion at the end of June, reflecting a fall of US$ 206 million compared to the previous month’s figure of US$ 6.29 billion.

This 3.3 per cent decline is largely attributed to a reduction in the country’s foreign currency holdings, which dropped from US$ 6.23 billion in May to US$ 6.02 billion in June.

Analysts suggest this downward movement signals continued pressure on the island nation’s external finances, even as authorities strive to stabilise the broader macroeconomic environment.
