The Taka to Sri Lankan Rupee exchange rate barely moved since the previous day of trading.

The BDT to LKR Exchange Rate trend

The 90-day exchange rate trend of the Taka against the Sri Lankan Rupee has decreased by -10.11%. Since last week, however, the Taka to Sri Lankan Rupee exchange rate has remained relatively unchanged, only recording a slight rise in value. In terms of rate, the Taka was valued at 2.85 Sri Lankan Rupees 3 months ago and is now worth 2.56 Sri Lankan Rupees. The fall in value does not favor the exchange rate for consumers or travelers visiting Sri Lanka at the moment. You will receive less Sri Lankan Rupees for your Taka and effectively reduces your purchase power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Takas to Sri Lankan Rupees, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
