The annual inflation rate in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital, rose to 5.4% in April 2026, up from 2.2% in March. Both food and non-food prices accelerated: food inflation increased to 2.8% from 0.7%, while non-food inflation climbed to 6.8% from 2.9%. The uptick in non-food inflation was driven primarily by higher transport costs (1.7% vs 0.8%), reflecting disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Further upward pressure came from housing and utilities, restaurants and hotels, education, miscellaneous goods and services, health, and clothing and footwear. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 3.0% in April, following a 0.3% increase in March.
