The Kenyan shilling has recently experienced a notable upturn, marking a significant shift in its value against the United States dollar and other global currencies. Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management, Moses Kuria, has attributed this surge to the repayment of the Eurobond, which has had a calming effect on the markets.

Moses Kuria Speaks

On Wednesday, February 21, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) quoted the shilling at 142.78 against the US dollar, reflecting a substantial improvement from its previous high of 160 on February 9. Kuria emphasized that this strengthening signifies the shilling’s true value emerging, following a period of speculation and market fluctuations.

Why did the Kenyan silling strengthen?

In an exclusive interview with TUKO.co.ke, a market analyst known as Moe from MoneyAcademyKE shed light on the role of CBK in supporting the shilling’s stability. Moe suggested that CBK has been utilizing funds from development partners to bolster the shilling, which faced considerable depreciation in recent times, causing hardships due to increased loan and fuel costs. Despite concerns about artificial interventions, Moe expressed optimism, citing expectations of substantial foreign inflows amounting to over KSh 733 billion. These inflows are anticipated to bolster foreign reserves, thereby supporting the shilling’s organic improvement.

Rufas Kamau, a market analyst at FXPesa, further corroborated this sentiment, highlighting the impact of loans received and anticipated by the National Treasury. Kamau explained that the influx of dollars from these sources is bridging the demand-supply gap in the short term, consequently leading to the strengthening of the Kenyan shilling. He projected that this trend is likely to persist throughout the second and third quarters of 2024, providing a stable foundation for the currency’s valuation.

Overall, Moses Kuria’s remarks, coupled with insights from market analysts, paint a picture of cautious optimism regarding the trajectory of the Kenyan shilling. While external interventions play a role in supporting its value, the underlying economic fundamentals and anticipated foreign inflows indicate a promising outlook for the currency’s stability and continued appreciation in the near future.
