උද්ධමනය (CCPI, වාර්ෂික) කෙටුම්පත් පරිවර්තනය

සැප් 2026 දී උද්ධමනය 8.0% විය, වසරකට පෙර මට්ටමට සාපේක්ෂව 6.5%. වර්තමාන තත්ත්වය: අවධානය. සෞඛ්‍ය සම්පන්න පරාසය: The Central Bank of Sri Lanka targets mid-single-digit inflation (around 4–6%). 2–6% is Good, 6–10% Watch, and above 10% (or below 0%) Concern. Moderate, stable inflation supports growth.

උද්ධමනය යනු මිල ගණන් ඉහළ යන වේගයයි. CCPI (කොළඹ පාරිභෝගික මිල දර්ශකය) එදිනෙදා භාණ්ඩ හා සේවා ඇසුරුමක මිල නිරීක්ෂණය කරයි; වාර්ෂික අගය මෙම මාසය පෙර වසරේ එම මාසය සමඟ සසඳයි.

If a basket of goods cost Rs 1,000 last year and Rs 1,050 now, inflation is 5% — the same shopping costs Rs 50 more.

When inflation is high each rupee buys less. Real wages fall unless pay keeps up, so purchasing power erodes — hitting poorer households hardest because food is a big share of their spending. The Central Bank usually raises the policy rate (a Taylor-rule style reaction), making borrowing dearer and slowing demand (the Phillips-curve trade-off).

Very low inflation can be healthy, but deflation (falling prices) is dangerous: people delay purchases expecting lower prices later, demand weakens, and the real burden of debt rises because incomes fall while debts stay fixed (a debt-deflation spiral).

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka targets mid-single-digit inflation (around 4–6%). 2–6% is Good, 6–10% Watch, and above 10% (or below 0%) Concern. Moderate, stable inflation supports growth.

CBSL target band 4–6%; wider 2–6% treated as healthy.

Inflation decides what your money can actually buy. It drives interest rates, wage demands and the exchange rate, and is the number most felt in daily life.
