Waiting to see how KE banks handle their USD positions by month end as well as in Feb to gauge the eurobond uptake. If KES gains strength towards 80/- then it means banks will be offloading the USD expecting a USD flood from the eurobond oversubscription.

Globally the USD rates may face a spike bout as signalled by the US 10yr note, which will likely bring volatility in the global markets.

An oversub'd KE eurobond should the above happen will then be the saving grace. Otherwise if undersub'd NSE will definitely face a selling bout from foreigners when that volatility checks in.

SAFARICOM's mobile bank account M-Shwari customers are depositing an average Sh200 million daily, according to its operators. - See more at: http://www.the-star.co.k...ly#sthash.WyptB6tI.dpuf

$2.5M daily - Mshwari

Kenyans transacted more than Sh1.7 trillion on their mobile phones in the first 11 months of 2013, surpassing the value of the country’s budget this financial year. http://www.nation.co.ke/.../-/anp19xz/-/index.html

Seems like iko pesa mingi sana mtaani.

Quote:

The Wi-Fi, also known as Near Field Communications, will facilitate online based payments especially run on bank platforms, where customers can use their bank accounts to settle payments in restaurants, supermarkets and at fuel stations.


Considering the popularity and recognition of mobile payments in Kenya,NFC or similar initiatives can't be avoided.It's an adequate launch pad.The 'bluetooth' of money.

It will be Kenya’s first free port and is expected to promote and strengthen trade within the East, Central and Southern Africa by allowing trading of goods within the zone without paying duty.

President Uhuru reduces cost of subsidised fertiliser

“In time, the fertiliser subsidy will grow to cover every one of our high value crops – tea, coffee, pyrethrum and sugarcane among them. It would be far better if every shilling of our fertiliser subsidy created jobs for our youth,” the President said.

He said feasibility study for the establishment a fertiliser manufacturing plant in the country is also complete and plans are underway to implement its recommendations.
