Daily FT
|November 27, 2025
CENTRAL Bank (CBSL) Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe yesterday said the surge in vehicle imports that followed the lifting of the five-year import suspension has now tapered off, with pent-up demand largely exhausted by November.
-
Speaking at the post-Monetary Policy Review meeting media briefing, Dr. Weerasinghe noted that Letters of Credit (LCs) for vehicle imports, which spiked sharply in July, have since declined, indicating a normalisation of demand.
He added that import prices for vehicles are also falling, contributing to a more stable and predictable market.
