The Sri Lankan rupee ended steady near its record low on Friday in dull trade as exporter dollar sales offset importer greenback demand and inward remittances, dealers said. The rupee ended at 143.23/27 per dollar, compared with Thursday's close of 143.22/27, and not far from an all-time low of 143.30 hit on November 27. "There were some exporter (dollar) conversions due to favourable euro rates," said a currency dealer, asking not to be named.
