The Sri Lankan rupee ended firmer on Monday as dollar selling by exporters and banks outpaced importer demand for the US currency, dealers said. The spot rupee ended at 152.45/55 per dollar, compared with Thursday's close of 152.70/75. "There was selling today, lots of exporter conversions were there," said a currency dealer, requesting anonymity. The island nation had seen 27.5 billion rupees ($180.09 million) of net inflows into equities up to Thursday's close, and 5.7 billion rupees worth inflows into government securities as of August 23, official data showed.
