The Kenyan shilling (KES) has recorded a 4 percent appreciation against the US dollar in 2025, marking the third consecutive year of stability, according to recent economic reports. This trend has reinforced investor confidence and supported businesses that rely heavily on foreign currency transactions.
The central bank has maintained a steady exchange rate policy, keeping the shilling within a narrow range of Sh129 for several months. This consistency has helped reduce inflationary pressures and attract foreign investment. Economic analysts note that the stability has also benefited local industries by lowering import costs.
The improved currency performance is attributed to prudent fiscal management and a stable political environment. However, experts caution that external factors such as global market volatility could impact the trend in the coming months. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
