About Nepalese Rupee
The Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is the official currency of Nepal, a landlocked Himalayan nation between India and China. The Nepal Rastra Bank manages monetary policy. The NPR has been pegged to the Indian Rupee (INR) at a fixed rate of 1.6 NPR per 1 INR since 1994, reflecting the close economic integration between Nepal and India - India is Nepal's largest trading partner and source of most imports. Nepal's economy depends on tourism (trekking, mountaineering - Mount Everest is in Nepal), remittances from workers abroad (primarily in Gulf countries and India), and hydropower exports.
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.
