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 recent forecasts for the USD to LKR (US dollar to Sri Lankan rupee) exchange rate reflect a complex interplay of economic indicators and geopolitical developments. Analysts have highlighted a notable decline in the US dollar, which has hit a three-year low due to concerns regarding the Federal Reserve's independence and a downward revision of US GDP figures. Looking forward, the upcoming US core PCE price index data is pivotal; should inflation indicators support the dollar, there may be a pullback in rate cut expectations, potentially strengthening the USD.

In contrast, the Sri Lankan rupee has been under significant pressure. A combination of political unrest and a substantial 44% tariff imposed by the US on Sri Lankan goods has severely impacted the LKR, contributing to its depreciation against the dollar. The ongoing lack of tourism income has further strained Sri Lanka's foreign reserves, complicating the rupee's recovery.

Currently, the USD to LKR exchange rate stands at 299.8, which is just above its three-month average. The rate has remained relatively stable within a 2.7% range, fluctuating between 293.1 and 301.0. This stability suggests a cautious sentiment in the market as both currencies are influenced by wider economic circumstances and policy decisions.

Experts note that the trajectory of the USD in the coming months will largely depend on Federal Reserve actions and general economic performance. Meanwhile, the LKR's future remains uncertain unless domestic issues are addressed and international trade dynamics improve. Investors and businesses engaging in cross-border transactions should remain vigilant and consider these factors when planning their international dealings.
