NAIROBI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling lost ground to the dollar on Monday on the back of unmatched
demand from oil importers and the manufacturing sector, traders
said.
At 0927 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
125.15/35 per dollar, compared to 125.05/25 at the close of
trading on Friday.
"There are few inflows from diaspora remittances but not
enough to meet demand," said one currency trader.
According to Refinitiv data, the shilling touched a new
record low of 125.30/50 per dollar on Monday. ...........................Shilling spot rates .....................Shilling forward rates .......................Cross rates ..................................Local contributors .......................Central Bank of Kenya Index .....................Kenyan Bonds contributor pages ...............Treasury bill yields ..................Central bank open market operations .........................Horizontal repo transactions , ................Daily interbank lending rate .............................Kenya Bond pricing .................................NSE-20 Share Index .................................NSE-25 Share Index .................................NSE All Share Index ...........................FT NSE Kenya 15 Index ..........................
