Where the numbers come from
How the price is worked out
  1. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka takes the world price of one troy ounce of gold in US dollars at the start of each business day.
  2. It converts it to rupees at its indicative US dollar exchange rate and publishes the result.
  3. We divide by 31.1035 for the price of one gram of pure (24 carat) gold.
  4. Other carats are worked out by purity: 22 carat is 22/24 of the 24 carat price.
  5. Other currencies use the Central Bank exchange rate of the same day.

Prices are for information only. Jewellers and banks set their own prices.
