The Central Bank of Sri Lanka mandates that licensed commercial banks maintain minimum reserves equal to 100 percent of margins against letters of credit for importing motor vehicles and non-essential consumer goods. This directive, issued under the Monetary Law Act, replaces Schedule A of previous operating instructions and establishes specific calculation methods for daily average deposit liabilities and required reserves. The amendments to these reserve requirements take effect on 16 October 2018.
