    People and BOC can do
    for 1 year, the USD FD rate is around 5.85%, and the loan rate for LKR is 11%
    But if USD rate goes up by 6%, its like you have not paid any interest.

    USD fixed deposit ekak thiyala LKR loan ekak ganna puluwan da ban banks walin?
    Yeah, most of banks allows it. Even you can get a credit card too agains USD FD.

    But USD FD rate is down now to like 3.75 -4.75%. Even then if USD up by 6-10% end of a year, you have regained your paid interest.
    Seems like USD FD are pretty good choice to protect against inflation too.

    Yes for Commercial bank.

    When the inflation is going high it, they had attached a floor rate (17% or AWPLR +0.5 wherever higher)

    Now the floor has been removed and its AWPLR +0.5

    Now the AWLPR is 8.xx, so its very attractive! (this changes to the rule at the time of renewal annually)

    - There is no time limit, it automatically renews annually
