EconomyNext — Sri Lanka fails to sell 74-pct of Treasury bills at auction amid BOP deficits

Central bank monetizing the debt. More worries about "MMT."

The implication is that this policy is negatively affecting the exchange rate, importing inflation. But it is difficult to established causality in exchange rate behavior with respect to specific factors.  There are many factors involved.
