Feb 28 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's key inflation rate eased
to 50.6% in February from 51.7% in January, the statistics
department said on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka has revised the base year for inflation indicators
from 2013 to 2021, an official said.
The CCPI, released at the end of each month, acts as a lead
indicator for broader national prices and shows how inflation is
evolving in Colombo, Sri Lanka's biggest city, as the country
battles its worst economic crisis since independence from the
British in 1948.
