This paper tests the expectations hypothesis of the term structure of interest rates for Sri Lanka. The data support the hypothesis that forward and spot rates are cointegrated suggesting a stochastic trend in the structure of interest rates. However, the hypothesis that forward rates are unbiased predictors of future spot rates is rejected.
