Screw politicizing Kenyan livelihoods!! Combo it with that IMF BoP support for extra ammo incase the banksters try to pull a fast one. IMF support is $500m. Monthly shortfall is $600m.. How will it help? FYI it is directed to oil-importers only. So sell USDs to them at a discount and watch whether it'll ease energy & fuel inflation. What's our monthly oil bill? Monthly oil bill for Kenya is about 20B. CBK reserves around 390B. If IMF chips in, add 50B more. So they can pay oil bill for Kenya between them for 22 months and wipe out reserves. Good idea? So they said they would equally secure USD supply from large exporters kina KTDA etc Total dollar inflows into Kenya per month are 43B. If they capture full dollar inflows, pay oil bill 20B and keep balance 23B in reserves, what do you think will happen to the market? Suddenly no dollars for the other importers.... You are clearly in banking... treasury that is.... so, will the banks sit back and wait for the CBK to empty their reserves before they can sell theirs? While they have board meetings to report to? The banks are already making obscene profits with the forex misbehaving, so cutting it down to even 100 or 95, they'd still be making some money... Disclaimer: am still torn between complaining or urging the CBK not to do anything until it reaches 200...(tongue in the cheek)

The Ksh speculative attack is a symptom of weak economic fundamentals and I think the CBR hike is just exacerbating the problem. CBK is powerless unless a concerted effort to cut the current and fiscal deficit is addressed the speculators will continue hitting the Ksh hard.
