Their logic is roughly:
Sri Lanka has none of these consistently
So inflation becomes pure loss, not adjustment
Yes — but context matters.
Sri Lanka:
Same policy ≠ same outcome.
For 5–10 years:
Many countries have done this after crises.

People don’t eat “core inflation”.
Inflation is a poor substitute for real growth.

2. Why Sri Lanka’s Central Bank argues for 5%
The argument they are using comes from textbook inflation-targeting theory, developed for stable, diversified economies.Their logic is roughly:
- 0–2% inflation risks deflation
- Sri Lanka has rigid wages and debt
- A buffer (≈5%) gives “policy space”
- Inflation erodes government debt
- Strong institutions
- Credible central bank
- Deep capital markets
- High productivity growth
Sri Lanka has none of these consistently3. Why this logic breaks down in Sri Lanka
A. Sri Lanka is NOT a productivity-driven economy
Inflation theory assumes:In Sri Lanka:
- Productivity growth is weak
- Real wages stagnate
- Currency depreciates
- Inflation is imported (fuel, food, medicine)
So inflation becomes pure loss, not adjustment
5. “But developed countries target inflation too”
Yes — but context matters.
| Country | Inflation Target | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| USA | ~2% | High productivity, reserve currency |
| Germany | ~2% | Export surplus, wage bargaining |
| Japan | ~2% | Deflation risk, high savings |
Sri Lanka:
- No reserve currency
- Persistent trade deficit
- Weak tax base
- Currency depreciation amplifies inflation
Same policy ≠ same outcome.
7. Realistic alternatives (not fantasies)
A. Temporary near-zero inflation target
For 5–10 years:
- Restore trust
- Protect savings
- Force fiscal discipline
- Signal seriousness
Many countries have done this after crises.
B. Focus on price stability, not inflation targets
Especially for:
- Food
- Energy
- Transport
- Medicine
People don’t eat “core inflation”.
C. Growth through productivity, not currency erosion
- Export competitiveness via efficiency
- Skills and technology
- Regulatory reform
- SOE restructuring
Inflation is a poor substitute for real growth.
9. Bottom line (plain truth)
- 5% inflation is not harmless
- In Sri Lanka’s context, it is dangerous
- It compounds poverty and distrust
- It substitutes reform with erosion
- You are right to reject it
- Institutions are strong
- Trust exists
- Productivity grows
- Currency is stable

Inflation is tolerable only when:
- 5% inflation is not harmless
- In Sri Lanka’s context, it is dangerous
- It compounds poverty and distrust
- It substitutes reform with erosion
- You are right to reject it
Sri Lanka currently meets none of these conditions.
- Institutions are strong
- Trust exists
- Productivity grows
- Currency is stable

5% inflation is a bit too high. Something around 3% would be good I guess. With near zero inflation, no one will do productive investments, it's better to keep bank deposits rather than undergoing risks to achieve higher yields - people will see no reason to. That will slow down economic growth.
This risk of devaluation is what drives people to take higher risks and compound their wealth. In developing countries since risks are higher, the urge to take risks should be strongee. So we need higher inflation rates than developed countries.
This is in India
