The central bank reported that the country’s official reserve assets grew from US$6.766 billion recorded at the end of April 2026 to US$6.873 billion by the end of May 2026.
The increase reflects a continued improvement in Sri Lanka’s external sector position and foreign reserve holdings during the month.
The Central Bank further noted that the reported reserve assets include funds received under the foreign exchange swap facility provided by the People's Bank of China.
Sri Lanka has been working to strengthen its foreign exchange reserves as part of broader efforts to support economic stability and enhance external resilience.
The latest reserve figures indicate a positive trend in the country’s reserve accumulation, providing additional support for foreign exchange liquidity and economic recovery efforts.
