LKR to USD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent Sri Lankan rupee → dollar forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Sri Lankan rupee to US dollar performance and trends.

 
 

The exchange rate forecast for the USD to LKR remains cautious as analysts navigate recent economic data. The US dollar (USD) experienced a decline as initial jobless claims rose, indicating a potential slowdown in the labor market. This has raised speculation that the Federal Reserve might consider cutting interest rates soon. Market attention is now focused on forthcoming non-farm payroll figures, which could further influence dollar valuation if job creation shows signs of slowing.

Currently, the USD to LKR is trading near 299.2, marking recent 7-day lows but remaining stable in a 2.6% range between 293.1 and 300.8. This stability suggests a period of consolidation amid ongoing pressures on the Sri Lankan rupee (LKR). Analysts highlight that the LKR has faced significant depreciation due to the combination of political unrest and a declining tourism sector, contributing to a decrease in foreign reserves. The imposition of a 44% reciprocal tariff rate on Sri Lankan goods by the US adds further strain on the LKR, affecting its performance against the dollar.

As the USD continues to be influenced by Federal Reserve policy decisions, inflation trends, and global market conditions, economists predict that the future of the LKR will largely depend on internal political stability and economic recovery in Sri Lanka. The interaction of these factors could shape potential volatility in the USD to LKR exchange rate in the near term. While the dollar remains a dominant force in the currency market, the challenges faced by the LKR could lead to further fluctuations, urging businesses and individuals engaged in international transactions to stay vigilant and informed on the evolving landscape.
