Data sources

National Consumer Price Index (NCPI), annual averages (2010 = 100)
Effective 1960-01-01 onward · retrieved 2026-08-30
- Department of Census and Statistics: National Consumer Price Index
- World Bank: consumer price index (FP.CPI.TOTL)
Sri Lanka is not in the BIS long consumer price dataset, so the series comes from the World Bank, which publishes the Department of Census and Statistics index. Values before 2015 chain the earlier Colombo index, because the NCPI itself only starts then.
