He was responding to comments on central bank independence following the devaluation through a fiscal policy statement Monday afternoon which put forex markets out of action for the rest of the day.
Jayasundera is also a member of the rate setting monetary board of the Central Bank.
He insisted that central bank's independence was not compromised.
"Exchange regime remains independent," Jayasundera said. "Central Bank remains independent.
And flexibility will remain. It may appreciate again.

In the past Sri Lanka's high inflation and currency depreciation has been blamed on fiscal dominance of monetary policy.
Jayasundera said India's currency has depreciated and its finance ministry has made a statement in the media saying there is further pressure.
"When all the whole world recognizes there is some degree of overvaluation, not because of the fault of the central bank or the fault of the government, but because of the reserve inflows that have taken place through various mechanisms in the past to stabilize the economy, (the) country needs to look at the global environment," Jayasundera said.
He said the budget has set the direction for the county and he was confident that growth and inflation objectives which has been "credibly established" over the last two years will not be compromised.
