Real Sector
Inflation, as measured by the change in the Colombo Consumers Price
Index (CCPI) (2006/07=100), which is compiled by the Department of
Census and Statistics, remained unchanged at -0.2 per cent in August
2015, as recorded in the previous month, on an year-on-year basis. Annual
average inflation declined to 1.0 per cent in August 2015 from 1.3 per
cent in July 2015. CCPI decreased by 0.5 per cent from July to August
2015.
Core inflation, which reflects the underlying inflation in the economy,
increased to 3.9 per cent in August 2015, from 3.5 per cent in July 2015
on an year-on-year basis. Annual average core inflation remained
unchanged at 2.8 per cent, for the third
consecutive month.
The economy grew by 6.0 per cent in real terms during the first quarter
of 2015, supported by 10.1 per cent growth of the Services activities and
2.9 per cent growth of the Agriculture related activities, while the
Industry activites contracted by 1.9 per cent in value added terms.
During the week crude oil spot prices showed mixed performance. At the
beginning of the week prices rose due to a downward revision of U.S.
crude production data and OPEC's readiness to talk with other oil
producers about curbing output. U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA) reported U.S. pumped just below 9.3 million barrels per day (bpd)
in June, down by 1 million bpd from a revised May figure. Prices then fell
after China's official Purchasing Managers' Index drop to 49.7 in August
and U.S. manufacturing sector growth slowed to its weakest pace in more
than two years, reinforcing fears of slowing global growth and weaker
fuel demand. Prices were then mixed on rallying equities on Wall Street
and rise in U.S. crude inventories. U.S. stocks rose more than 1 per cent
as China's move to support its financial markets eased investor concerns
while EIA reported crude stockpiles rose by 4.7 million barrels last week.
Prices further rose on gains in Wall Street equities for a second straight
day and the European Central Bank's pledge to keep monetary policy
loose after weak inflation and growth forecasts.

Monetary Sector
Weekly AWPR for the week ending 4 September 2015 increased by 5
basis points to 6.81 compared to the previous week.
The reserve money increased compared to the previous week mainly due
to increase in currency in circulation and the deposits held by the
commercial banks with central bank.
By 04 September 2015, the All Share Price Index (ASPI) declined by 1.84
per cent to 7,215 points while the S&P SL 20 Index declined by 2.26 per
cent to 3,958 points, compared to the previous week.

Fiscal Sector
During the first quarter of 2015, total revenue as a percentage of
estimated GDP remained unchanged at 2.5 per cent as in the corresponding
period of 2014. However, in nominal terms, total revenue increased by 16.4
per cent to Rs. 285.6 billion during the first quarter of the year from Rs.
245.2 billion recorded during the same period in 2014 reflecting increases
in both tax revenue (by Rs. 30.0 billion) non tax revenue (by Rs. 10.5
billion). However, average monthly revenue during this period was around
Rs. 95.2 billion compared to the estimate of Rs. 125.4 billion in the Budget.
Total outstanding debt increased by Rs. 267.2 billion to Rs. 7,658.1 billion
as at end March 2015 from Rs. 7,390.9 billion at end 2014. Foreign debt
decreased by Rs. 43.7 billion to Rs. 3,069.4 billion mainly due the
repayment of International Sovereign Bond amounting to US dollars 500
million. Meanwhile, domestic debt increased by Rs. 311.0 billion to Rs.
4,588.7 billion.
Special Commodity Levy (SCL) was revised from time to time during the
year, providing necessary protection for domestic agricultural producers
while reducing volatility in commodity prices in the domestic market.
Accordingly, SCL on several essential goods was revised during the months
of March 2015. Accordingly, SCL on mackerel was reduced to Rs. 6 per kg
from Rs. 10 per kg with effect from 18 March 2015. Meanwhile, SCL on
rice was increased to Rs. 40 per kg from Rs. 20 per kg.

During the year so far (up to 04 September 2015) the rupee depreciated
against the US dollar (2.75 per cent). Given the cross currency exchange
rate movements, the Sri Lanka rupee appreciated against the euro (6.31
per cent) and the Indian rupee (1.50 per cent) and depreciated against
the pound sterling (0.68 per cent) and the Japanese yen (2.56 per cent)
during this period.
On cumulative basis, exports earnings during the first six months of 2015
recorded a decline of 0.6 per cent, year-on-year, to US dollars 5,415
million. The decline was led by agricultural exports and mineral exports .
On a cumulative basis, during the first six months of 2015, expenditure
on imports increased by 5.7 per cent, year-on-year, to US dollars 9,501
million mainly led by consumer goods imports followed by investment
goods imports.

arrivals in August 2015, accounting for 50 per cent of total tourist
arrivals upto the month of August 2015.
