Hi Kavindu

Policy rate cut & indication from CBSL that they will not permit downward rate trend to be reversed should have resulted in market sold up move.
Disappointed.

Hi mate
It is fighting with virus case. Almost all Asia share markets down today. But CSE is still okay because of those (+) points.
People still scared. You know this virus case could go massive. But i believe it will be ended soon.
And we can expect a good uptrend sooner. Even today we can expect a good move.

Foreigners extend Sri Lanka rupee bond sales amid rate cut, Coronavirus
Sri Lanka Bank Interest Rates - Page 2 2020-b10


ECONOMYNEXT – Foreign investors continued to sell rupee bonds in February 2020, after a rate cut in January, with one of the steepest one week sell-downs taking place in the last week, official data showed as a Coronavirus outbreak also spooked global investors.

Sri Lanka’s stock markets also plunged, with domestic selling pressure adding to foreign investor sales.

Foreign investor holdings of Sri Lanka rupee bonds fell to 91.2 billion rupees (about 50 million US dollars) in the week to February 26, from 102.66 billion rupees a week ago, central bank data showed.

Sri Lanka cut policy rates on January 30, despite the budget deficit expected to rise and private credit also expected to pick up in 2020.

Foreign investors have sold 16.69 billion rupees worth bonds after the rate cut. About 7 billion rupees of bonds were sold before the rate cut.

Excess liquidity also spiked in money markets in late February, stabilizing, giving an opportunity for foreign investor to exit.

Foreign investors have steadily exited Sri Lanka rupee bonds since 2015, as liquidity injections made to enforce rate cuts de-stabilized.

Monetary stability also came under pressure from an explicit real effective exchange rate targeting exercise, which sought to boost hard goods exports by forcing down real wages of export sector workers. (Colombo/Mar02/2020)

Previous 2bn Chinese loan reduced to 500 mn. Further
With current usd rates nearing zero we should have stricken a good interest rate.
But in no paper the interest rate of the loan disclosed.

Central bank unexpectedly cut key policy rates on Friday
The Central bank on Friday unexpectedly reduced the key policy rates further 25 basis points to enable the domestic financial market to provide further relief to businesses and individuals affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions placed to contain its spread within the country.

Friday’s rate cut is the third cut for the year and the bank has reduced the rates by 100 basis points so far this year.
The Central Bank advanced its Monetary Board meeting to Friday and decided to reduce the Standing Deposit Facility Rate (SDFR) and the Standing Lending Facility Rate (SLFR) of the Central Bank by 25basis points to 6.00 percent and 7.00 percent, respectively, effective from the close of business on 03 April 2020.

“This decision will complement the measures taken thus far to ease market conditions, and enable the domestic financial market to provide further relief to businesses and individuals affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions placed to contain its spread within the country,” the bank said in a statement.

The Bank also said the Monetary Board may review the monetary policy stance of the Central Bank and make necessary changes as and when required in consideration of economic and market developments.

The Monetary Board in March at an urgent meeting reduce the SDFR and the SLFR by 25 basis points with effect from 17 March 2020 and reduced the Statutory Reserve Ratio (SRR) on all rupee deposit liabilities of licensed commercial banks (LCBs) by 1.00 percentage point to 4.00 percent considering the urgent need to support economic activity with the rapid global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and its possible further spread in Sri Lanka.

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka slashed its standing deposit facility rate by 25bps to 6 percent at an emergency meeting on April 3rd, its second such reduction in three weeks, aiming to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. "This decision will complement the measures taken thus far to ease market conditions, and enable the domestic financial market to provide further relief to businesses and individuals affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions placed to contain its spread within the country," the central bank said in its release. The standing lending facility rate was also cut by 25bps to 7 percent.

Looking forward, we estimate Interest Rate in Sri Lanka to stand at 6.00 in 12 months time. In the long-term, the Sri Lanka Interest Rate is projected to trend around 6.00 percent in 2021, according to our econometric models.

Sri Lanka’s Central Bank reduces bank rate

Apr 16, 2020 (LBO) – The Monetary Board of the Central Bank at its meeting held yesterday, having observed the cumulative reduction of the key policy interest rates of SDFR and SLFR by 200 basis points each since 31 May 2019, has decided to allow the bank rate to automatically adjust in line with the SLFR, with a margin of +300 basis points.

Accordingly, with effect from today (16th), the bank rate, which is an administratively determined rate that could be used in periods of emergency, has been effectively reduced by 500 basis points from 15.00 percent to 10.00 percent.

Sri Lanka cuts policy rates by 50bp to 6.50-pct
Wednesday May 6, 2020 19:11:11
ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s central bank said it had cut the policy rate at which it injects printed money to markets by 50 basis points to 6.50 percent and the rate at which excess money is take out to 5.50 percent.

In practice the monetary authority injects large volumes of money to target an overnight rate in the middle of the corridor.

Sri Lanka’s private credit is expected to fall amid the shock of Coronavirus lockdowns but state credit is set to expand.

A key problem with Sri Lanka’s monetary policy is not so much the rate but a recent practice of targeting the middle of the policy corridor with large volumes of excess liquidity, which leads to bouts of monetary instability, analysts have said.

Large volumes of excess liquidity is required to target the middle of the policy corridor when there are spikes in credit demand, leading to uncontrolled expansions of the monetary base, out of sync with the balance of payments.

The central bank’s earlier rate cuts starting from January as credit was starting to pick up slightly, liquidity injections from February, triggered pressure on the currency and has helped the country earn a credit downgrade as fears about external sustainability increased.
