imageNAIROBI: Kenya's central bank said on Tuesday it was seeking to mop up 11 billion shillings ($120 million) in excess liquidity from the money markets using repurchase agreements, or repos.

By mopping up excess liquidity, the central bank makes it more expensive to hold dollars, thereby giving the shilling some support.
