The price of a 450-gram loaf of bread will be increased by Rs. 10 with effect from midnight today (23), according to the All Ceylon Bakery Owners’ Association.

Accordingly, a loaf of bread will be sold for Rs. 130 from tomorrow.

The increase in prices comes after the government increased the prices of petrol and diesel in recent days amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
