AWAITING DESK
We track Kenya's live currency and exchange today. Verified macro depth — confidence, inflation and PMI — arrives as our Kenya desk is established (desk forming — 2026). Planned sources: CBK · KNBS · Stanbic PMI (to be sourced by desk). We publish figures only once verified — never estimated.
The read from our desk
In-depth Kenya analysis is written by our Kenya desk. Until it's established, Kenya features in the weekly CEO Brief's comparative analysis — where its numbers are read against Nigeria and the rest of the continent.
