9 percent.

In May there was a sharp 2.3 percent increase in the widely watched Colombo Consumer Price Index.

In June the food and non-alcoholic beverages sub index rose 3.2 percent and was up 7.3 percent for the year.

Sri Lanka's central bank cut policy rate from May 2013 but raised petroleum prices, which will reduce losses of state enterprises and cut credit demand in the coming months.

In June the rupee also fell and last week the Central Bank cut its statutory reserve ratio, which could put further pressure on the rupee unless the liquidity released by the move is mopped through dollar or bond sales in the Central Bank's portfolio.
