Due to confusion at CBK, our economy has not yet adopted CBR. Currently its use is limited to being a signalling tool for lending purposes. As such, I'd be more comfortable with a 50-100bps rise.

Btw, just because I critically analyse issues (i.e. pt out weaknesses but suggest common sense solutions) doesn't mean I don't think Kenya has a strong investment case. Au contraire, it does but we really must get our act together and do common sense far more often than the ushamba ways we favor now. -Justsaying-

And I hope in today's MPC meeting they come up with substantial medium term objectives. Not just measures for a week or two. This patchy work is not suitable to anyone...

Namibians are happy people we believe in hard work not 'hand outs' like our Zim brothers...Nam is a success story man...but challenges remain...the Governor of the Central bank is in his 30's...so next time I meet him in a supermarket I will tell him what needs to be done to create jobs and diversify the economy smile

No problem at all. U can always host Zanu-PF $ ANC to another empowerment & land-reform Indaba. Please remember those 51% empowerment stakes in Zim are for PURCHASE & not free as ur Western media mis-informs. Thank you.

CBK announces 75bps rise. Will definitely help reduce pressure on KES. For now.

At least some solid rate hike. But strangely the USDKES cross still wants to reclaim the 95/- handle. What is the rush of floating a sovereign bond. And I hope it not a eurobond. Not at this time!

Kizee1-If you recall, I said we'd get to Ksh100 if CBK knitted jumpers rather than increasing CBR. My pt here is that the pressure for Ksh100 is off. For now. The EU situation is also at play and whilst that remains unresolved, things will be dicey.

the pressure is bak on mate, kes today traded at 95.85! another all time low, a move to 100 could occur even this week, offcourse CBK may support the unit but selling loose change as an intervention helps nothing

i say again the kes weakness is structural, the growing current account deficit needs to be resolved, short term measures such as hiking rates will not help at this time, selling reserves is a good short term measure while the structural problems causing the deficit to grow are resolved

Kizee1-yes it does look like market had already discounted 7% and requires a higher rise.
The BoP status can't been changed overnight
