This has changed the inflow of dollar denominated\u00a0support from the International Monetary Fund IMF. Which dispersed\u00a0 684 million dollars in January this year to a tune of 385 million dollars, with the African development\u00a0 burns set to further increase dollar liquidity in the country by an additional disbursement\u00a0of 88 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experts now say, they have given&nbsp;shilling in short in the arm against&nbsp; the Dollar. The shilling which stood at 162 against Us dollar three days ago, has regained value&nbsp;to close the day at an average sh 153&nbsp; to dollar indicating insignificant gain, attributing to lack of incentive&nbsp;for investors to keep holding back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The panic sale of Us dollars in the market is expected to see Kenyan shilling gain Us dollar further against Us dollar. Experts predict that the shilling will hold steady at sh140 to the dollar in the second and third quarter&nbsp;of the year&nbsp;but they remain conscious&nbsp;that the shilling&nbsp;may not last as long as micro economic fundamentals&nbsp;remain the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the national treasury, principal secretary Dr. Chris Kiptoo says Kenyans\u00a0 holding the dollars should take\u00a0 the advantage of the current window so as to sell of their dollars or risk losing\u00a0 them even as he says the shilling will continue to rally\u00a0 against Us dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Strengthening Of Kenyan Shilling\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HneSriI0zpk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PURITY NELIMA The continuous\u00a0rally of ksh. over last week has signalled a signified tithe turn for the currency,\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2186,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
