Foreign investors have extended their sell-off of Sri Lanka’s rupee-denominated bonds, marking a second consecutive week of net outflows from the domestic debt market.

The sustained retreat underscores cautious positioning among offshore market participants, who have continued to trim exposure to local currency government paper across back-to-back trading periods.
