Seer Insights is a blog covering the macroeconomic news of Sri Lanka. We take the official releases on prices, growth, jobs, public finances and the IMF programme, and turn them into clear, well-sourced analysis you can read in a few minutes.
Consumer prices are rising 8.0% a year, output grew 4.2% in the April–June quarter, 3.7% of the labour force is looking for work, the policy rate stands at 8.75%, and the IMF programme has entered its 7th review.
The big-picture forces that shape prices, incomes and jobs across the country.
Macro only. We do not cover stocks, share prices or individual companies, and nothing here is investment advice.
Economic news in Sri Lanka often arrives as a single headline number. We look at what sits underneath it.
Every note is built on primary releases from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the Department of Census and Statistics, the Ministry of Finance and the IMF.
We break figures down by component, sector and group, so you can see what actually moved and why it matters.
Short, readable notes with tables and charts, written for students, professionals and anyone who follows the economy.
