Kenyan shilling flat versus Dollar

Date: Jun 16, 2025

The Kenyan Shilling has held steady against the Dollar today, trading at 129 to 129.50, unchanged from its close on Friday, data from the London Stock Exchange has shown.

Analysts say the Shilling has been supported by strong foreign exchange reserves held by the Central Bank of Kenya.

They also note that the Tanzanian Shilling, which had previously been one of the world's worst-performing currencies in 2025, has rebounded strongly in June after the Tanzanian government banned the use of foreign currencies, including the US Dollar, in local transactions to stabilise the Tanzanian Shilling and reduce dollarisation of the economy.
