Kenyan shilling steady; expected to gain in days ahead

Reuters Published March 22, 2024

NAIROBI: Kenya’s shilling was unchanged on Friday, with little importer demand for dollars in the market, but was expected to gain ground in the next few days, helped by inflows from horticultural produce exporters, traders said.

At 0728 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 132.00/133.00 per dollar, the same as Thursday’s closing rate.

My salary difference between last month and this month will be a clean --ksh16000. This should reflect to the drop of price of commodities. Otherwise, no much benefit to the common mwananchi.
