I am working overseas. I come back soon after now two year here. I will leave most of my earnings in my bank account here. I can send it back to Sri Lanka any time in the future. I will not send back like I used to do previous stints overseas because exchange rate is so bad. Five years ago there was no peg/fixing like now. I expect real value of rupee is now only Rs. 550 per USD now. Even outside channel I can send at Rs. 400 to 430 rupee per dollar easy.
