🧵 USD/LKR hits Rs. 344 — here's what's actually happening:
The Real Problem:
Fuel imports: $522M (up from $98M in Feb)
Vehicle imports: $600M in Q1
Tourism dip: $157M in April
The Reality:Reserves at $6.76B = 4+ months of imports. This is a cash flow crunch, not 2022.
Short-term panic + real trade deficit = overshoot.
Once vehicle surcharges kick in and multilateral funds clear, rate should stabilize toward sustainable levels.
Not a collapse. A correction.

WE ARE MAKING HISTORY GUYSS !!!!
@SriLankaTweet Expecting a government change with a new party—let’s see how it unfolds. The Tamil Nadu elections this time also seem highly competitive, similar to Sri Lanka’s last presidential election.
Vijay, TVK chief and candidate from Tiruchirappalli East and Perambur constituencies, writes a letter to the Chief Election Commissioner to extend polling hours by two hours till 8:00 pm.
"Extend polling hours by two hours: In view of the large surge of delayed voters due to travel disruptions, and long-queue waiting imperatives, polling must be extended till 8:00 pm across all affected constituencies," reads the letter
