About Indian Rupee
The Indian Rupee (INR) is the official currency of India, the world's most populous country and fifth largest economy. The name "rupee" derives from the Sanskrit "rupyakam" (silver coin), used since the Maurya Empire around 300 BCE. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) manages monetary policy. The rupee was decimalised in 1957 and is divided into 100 paise, though paise coins below 50 are no longer in circulation. India's economy is driven by information technology services, pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and rapidly growing manufacturing.
About Sri Lankan Rupee
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) has been the official currency of Sri Lanka since 1872, with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) managing monetary policy since 1950. Sri Lanka experienced a severe economic crisis in 2022, running out of foreign exchange reserves, causing widespread fuel, medicine, and food shortages that led to political upheaval and the resignation of the president. An IMF bailout agreement in 2023 helped stabilise the situation. Sri Lanka's economy is based on tourism, garment exports, tea (a world-leading exporter), and remittances.
