Kenya central bank cuts interest rate again to boost growth
The Central Bank of Kenya cut its key interest rate for the fourth consecutive meeting on Wednesday, aiming to stimulate economic growth. The Monetary Policy Committee lowered the Central Bank Rate by 50 basis points to 10.75%. The Kenyan economy has faced challenges, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a recent drought. While the economy showed signs of recovery, growth has slowed. The rate cut is expected to encourage lending, boost investment, and stimulate economic activity. However, the bank acknowledged potential risks, such as higher-than-expected inflation and a worsening global economic environment. This action reflects the central bank’s commitment to supporting economic growth while maintaining price stability.
