Kenyan shilling eases on manufacturing FX demand

NAIROBI (Reuters) – The Kenyan shilling eased against the dollar in a thin market on Monday, as manufacturers sought foreign currency amid meagre dollar inflows, traders said.

At 0921 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 136.50/70 per dollar, compared with 136.40/60 at Friday’s close.

The shilling touched a new all-time low of 136.55/75 per dollar on Friday, Refinitiv data showed.
