    Sri Lanka’s ACL Cables Plc is finding it difficult to import raw materials from abroad because banks were rationing foreign exchange, customers were told amid the worst money printing in the country’s central bank history.

    “Due to the current shortage of foreign currency at the banks, we are finding it difficult to source adequate quantities of raw materials from overseas supplies,” the firm said in a letter addressed to ‘valued stakeholders’.

    The forex rationing by banks “will result in a short supply of materials very soon and we see signs of shortage since stock raw materials are hardly sufficient to meet the demand in the next two month,” the firms said.

    Sri Lanka’s central bank ratcheted up money printing from around February 2020, under the current administration’s Saubhagya framework driving the rupee down from 182 to the US dollar to 230 in the over-the-counter market.

    1).Now 20' from China 7500USD. In May it was 1750 USD.

    2).ACL has big stock of Copper and seems to be they are ready for 2021

    3).Banks haven't foreign exchange but black market have enough for Rs. 230 /USD

    4). Sri Lanka has developed country living styles but actually we are very below of the economic wise.

    Update :shocked:

    Expats barred from fund repatriation

    Many foreign expatriates in Sri Lanka are complaining that they are not permitted to repatriate funds by their respective licensed commercial banks (LCBs) in the island for personal purposes, in the midst of a severe foreign exchange crisis.

    Expatriates were complaining on social media for not being able to transfer funds to countries including India and the UK.
