We expect CBSL to hold policy rates steady at its Monetary Policy Review on 30 September 2026
Gradual transmission of the 100 bps May hike
The 100bp hike in May was front-loaded and pre-emptive, and its effects are already showing: credit to the most rate sensitive sectors such as Industry (led by construction) and Services (led by wholesale & retail trade) slowed in June and banks have turned more cautious on lending. But transmission is gradual. The Governor has said the full impact takes 12–18 months, and we're only 4 months in.
Inflation elevated, but largely base-effect and supply-driven
Headline CCPI inflation rose to 8.0% from 7.3%, but the y/y increase largely reflects a base effect from elevated oil prices in 2026. On a M/M basis, the 0.28% increase was mainly driven by food prices, while non-food inflation eased to 7.7%. With inflation expectations remaining broadly anchored and the May rate hike still working through the economy, there is limited need for another hike at this stage. However, inflation could overshoot in the short term if the higher global refined fuel prices are fully passed on in the September price revision.
Easing external pressure
Gross official reserves rose to USD 6,905 mn by the end of August 2026 from about USD 6,591 mn in July, the rupee has held broadly stable around 328–331, and remittances remain strong (+10% y/y in August, +19.8% YTD). The current account has run a deficit for four straight months on higher fuel import costs but has been somewhat contained by strong remittances and services exports. We would expect some gradual easing of pressure on slower credit growth and in the event oil prices revert to levels seen in July–August 2026 (USD 80–95/bbl).
