Sri Lanka’s official reserve assets recorded a notable increase in February 2026, reaching USD 7,284 million, according to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
The latest figures show a 6.6 percent rise compared to USD 6,832 million reported in January 2026, reflecting an improvement in the country’s foreign reserve position.
With this increase, Sri Lanka’s reserves have climbed above the USD 7 billion mark for the first time since August 2020, signaling a gradual strengthening of the nation’s external financial buffers.
However, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka noted that the total reserve figure also includes funds obtained through a currency swap agreement with the People’s Bank of China.
The central bank stated that such arrangements contribute to the overall reserve level while supporting the country’s efforts to stabilize its external finances.
