We see the Central Bank s instruction on the spot rupee. But the spot-next was traded without any intervention, a currency dealer said, asking not to be named.the spot rupee is usually managed by the central bank, and market participants use the forward market levels for guidance on the currency.-daily Ft After months of uncertainty the Value Added Tax (VAT) Amendment Bill was passed in parliament yesterday, increasing taxes from 11% to 15% with several amendments that included Finance Minister Ravi Karunanyake pledging to bring fresh regulations to ensure exemptions applicable to health services raised by opposition members. The controversial Bill was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in July but the latest draft was cleared by the court on Tuesday. Voting by name was taken at the 2nd reading where 112 voted in favour while 46 members were against. The vote taken after the third reading brought in only 76 votes in favour of the amendments while 23 voted against the Bill, mostly due to members leaving the well of the House. The 15% increase in VAT exempts certain services in healthcare, housing and smart phones while increasing postal charges, call charges, tobacco and liquor prices, Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake highlighted. DailyFt Despite Sri Lanka making progress in two reform areas, this was not enough to stop a decline in the country s overall rank from 19 in 216 to 11 in 217 in the latest ease of doing business index released by the World Bank yesterday as competitive peer economies pushed ahead faster. The World Bank Sri Lanka office, releasing a statement on Wednesday, noted that Sri Lanka had slipped in the rankings by just one rung, which was not necessarily an indicator that the country has slipped down in rank, but is more a reflection that other peer economies have undertaken a larger number of reforms in the business environment during the same period. The two key reforms implemented by Sri Lanka in 216 that are covered by the Doing Business report are under the categories of Starting a Business and Protecting Minority Investors. -DailyFt Global Buzz Samsung Electronics Co. reported a 17 percent slump in third-quarter profit after the demise of its fire-prone Note 7 line threw the world s largest smartphone maker into disarray.scores of reports about battery fires and explosions forced Samsung to kill its most profitable model this month, punctuating its worst corporate crisis to date.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a second day, with Canon Inc., Cnooc Ltd. and Posco all losing ground after announcing results. Crude oil traded near $49 a barrel amid doubts about whether OPEC will implement its first output cuts in eight years and get producers outside the group to join in.
