Inflation, which was 3.0% in January, had risen to 3.9% subject to fluctuations by the end of April. But since April, it has continued to rise to 9.9%.<br \/>Economic analysts point out that inflation is mainly due to the printing of huge sums of money, the collapse of the rupee and the shortage of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-comments-closed saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-16480' class='saic-link saic-icon-link saic-icon-link-true auto-load-true' href='?post_id=16480&amp;comments=0&amp;get=30&amp;order=DESC' title='0 Comments'><i class='saico-comment'><\/i><span>0<\/span> Comments<\/a><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-link--><div id='saic-wrap-commnent-16480' class='saic-wrap-comments' style='display:none;'><div id='saic-wrap-form-16480' class='saic-wrap-form saic-clearfix'><div class='saic-form-avatar'><\/div><div id='saic-container-form-16480' class='saic-container-form saic-no-login'><p>Comments are closed<\/p><\/div><!--.saic-container-form--><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-form--><div id='saic-comment-status-16480'  class='saic-comment-status'><\/div><ul id='saic-container-comment-16480' class='saic-container-comments saic-order-DESC ' data-order='DESC'><\/ul><div class='saic-holder-16480 saic-holder'><\/div><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-comments--><\/div><!--.saic-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colombo Consumer Price Index (CPI) had been at 3.9% at the beginning of this year, but it had more [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[106,97,107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","category-smartphones","category-political","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24202,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16480\/revisions\/24202"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
