CBSL governor refutes social media claims on NRFC accounts

The Central Bank (CBSL) says the social media reports claiming that Non-Resident Foreign Currency (NRFC) accounts would be converted to Sri Lankan Rupees at midnight today (December 07) are completely false.

CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal stressed this in a tweet published on his official account.
