Question 4

Between June 2021 and October 2023, the market exchange rate of the Kenyan shilling (KES) fell from 107.5 KES per 1 US dollar (USD) to 150.0 KES per 1 USD. In response, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) faced intense pressure to deploy its foreign exchange reserves and adjust monetary policy to defend the currency against further depreciation.
