REGIONALThe Hindu - InternationalSri Lanka imposes 50% surcharge on car imports to protect currency from further slide

Sri Lanka has introduced a 50% surcharge on car imports as a measure to prevent further depreciation of its currency. The move aims to reduce foreign currency outflows by curbing demand for imported vehicles, which could help stabilize the Sri Lankan rupee. This policy affects car buyers and importers, potentially increasing vehicle prices and impacting the automotive market.
