The Sri Lankan rupee has been identified as the worst-performing currency in Asia this month, according to a global business report.
The currency has weakened against the US dollar in recent days, with warnings of further depreciation.
Economist Prof. Wasantha Athukorala said the decline could impact the economy and increase inflation.
MP Ravi Karunanayake claimed there is no proper mechanism to control the depreciation, while former MP Piyal Nishantha called for joint action.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the depreciation is temporary
