About Peruvian Sol
The Peruvian Sol (PEN) - formally the "nuevo sol" (new sun) - was introduced in 1991 as part of a sweeping economic stabilisation programme that ended hyperinflation, which had reached 7,000% annually under the previous inti currency. The name "sol" is the Spanish word for "sun" and reflects the ancient Inca sun deity Inti. The Banco Central de Reserva del Peru manages monetary policy with a managed float. Peru is one of South America's strongest economies and the world's second largest copper producer, as well as a major producer of gold, zinc, and silver.
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.
