Kenyan shilling little-changed, vulnerable to importer FX demand

NAIROBI, March 24 (Reuters) - The Kenyan shilling was little-changed on Friday, but remained vulnerable to foreign exchange demand from manufacturing and other importers, traders said.

At 0822 GMT commercial banks quoted the shilling at 131.25/45, compared to Thursday's close of 131.20/40.

The shilling has lost more than 6% of its value against the dollar since the start of the year, according to Refinitiv data. (Reporting by Elias Biryabarema; Editing by Hereward Holland)
