Sri Lanka Stock Market Posts Strong One‑Day Gain
Sri Lanka's Colombo Stock Exchange main index surged over 3% on March 25, 2026, amid improved investor sentiment despite broader economic challenges.
On March 25, 2026, the Colombo Stock Exchange All Share Price Index jumped to 21,848 points, up 3.69% from the previous session. The rally indicates renewed investor confidence after a volatile month of outflows and policy‑driven repricing. Turnover increased, reflecting active participation across banking and export‑oriented sectors. The move follows a period of elevated but moderating inflation and tighter monetary settings aimed at stabilizing the rupee. While the market remains below its January 2026 peak, the one‑day surge signals cautious optimism about earnings resilience and the ongoing recovery from the earlier balance‑of‑payments crisis.
