NAIROBI, March 17 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling inched lower on Friday as companies in the energy and
manufacturing sectors hunted scarce foreign currency, traders
said.
At 0950 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at
130.10/30 per U.S. dollar, a new record low, compared with
Thursday's closing rate of 130.00/20.
Year-to-date the shilling has lost more than 5% versus the
dollar, according to Refinitiv data.
