FX.co ★ Sri Lanka Producer Prices Unchanged in May

In May 2025, Sri Lanka's Producer Price Index remained steady compared to the same month the previous year, following a slightly revised 1.0% decrease in April. This stabilization broke the trend of seven months of consecutive declines. The rise in agricultural prices to 14.0% from 17.1% in April was balanced by downturns in the manufacturing sector, which dipped by 0.8% from the previous 1.0% decrease, and the utility sector, which saw a reduction of 26.9% compared to the 30.1% decline in the previous month. On a month-to-month basis, producer prices dropped by 0.5% in May, countering a 0.4% increase that occurred in April.
