USD to LKR 2025 Forecasts

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

 

Recent forecasts for the USD to LKR exchange rate indicate a range-bound trading environment influenced by several key market factors. As per analysts, the US dollar's position has largely been characterized by cautious trading ahead of the critical CPI inflation report. Expectations suggest that if inflation accelerates, it could bolster the USD, mitigating bets on potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Conversely, a soft inflation reading could exert downward pressure on the dollar, complicating future forecasts for USD against the LKR.

In addition, current developments within the US economy, including the leadership transition at the Federal Reserve and ongoing US-China trade negotiations, may have lasting implications for the dollar's strength. Observers note that the Federal Reserve's evolving role and position on interest rates will be pivotal in shaping the dollar's performance. Moreover, factors such as the increasing global trend towards dedollarization may challenge the USD's dominance in the long run, thereby impacting its exchange rates, including with the Sri Lankan Rupee.

On the Sri Lankan side, the LKR has recently faced depreciation despite a record current account surplus. Analysts note that this paradox raises concerns regarding domestic liquidity and monetary policy effectiveness. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka's decision to maintain an overnight policy rate of 7.75% aims to stimulate economic growth, but experts emphasize that urgent structural reforms are necessary for sustainable recovery. Economic projections indicate a modest growth rate of 4.6% for Sri Lanka in 2025, yet challenges remain, especially with the upcoming IMF review on the horizon.

Currently, the USD to LKR exchange rate is nearing a 90-day high of 303.7, slightly above its 3-month average of 301.9. This reflects a stable trading range, underscoring the consequences of international sentiment and local economic policies. Moving forward, market players should remain vigilant towards the interplay of US inflation dynamics and Sri Lankan economic reforms, as these developments are likely to shape the USD to LKR exchange rate trajectory in the near term.
