Kenya's central bank says to mop up 3bn shillings

05 Aug, 2015

NAIROBI: Kenya's central bank said on Wednesday it planned to mop up 3 billion shillings in excess liquidity ($30 million) from the money markets.

The bank uses repurchase agreements and term auction deposits to take out the liquidity, which makes it costly to hold dollars and partly gives the shilling support.
