So are we soon to see CBK start china like market intervention? "Arrest the KES short sellers blah blah blah?"
There's something most are not getting;
1. The dollar is getting stronger because the economy is on steroids, this is even worrying US exporters because their exports are now expensive.
2. The tightening of the US monetary policy or even the hint of it coming up is driving the dollar up.
what will rescue KE is pumping out exports (More flowers, minerals, tea, coffee, etc) or bring in more tourists. Increase tax on non - essential imports (esp cloths) Encourage FDI. Hakuna namna ingine
