The Reserve bank of India has entered a $1.5 billion currency swap agreement with the central bank of Sri Lanka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday after meeting Sri Lankan leader Maithripala Sirisena.
"This will help keep the Sri Lankan rupee stable," Modi told reporters.
Sri Lanka rupee has been under pressure since early January and fallen around 1.5 per cent so far this year despite the central bank defended it with selling dollars.
