NAIROBI, Feb 15 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling lost ground to the dollar on Wednesday as remittances in foreign
currency failed to match dollar demand from the oil and
manufacturing sectors, traders said.
At 0955 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
125.40/60 per U.S. dollar, compared to 125.25/45 at the close of
trading on Tuesday.
"At a time when we normally get inflows from the diaspora,
it's been a bit quiet," said one trader at a commercial bank. ...........................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 ..........................
