The pressure has fed into a marginal weakening of the shilling against the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Thugge said the external position is also being strained by a widening current account deficit, driven by higher import costs and softer inflows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current account deficit for 2026 is projected at 3% of GDP\u2026 this is a reflection of the emerging risks of the conflict in the Middle East,higher oil prices, low receipts from services, slower growth in remittances, as well as slower growth in exports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the headwinds, the CBK struck a reassuring tone on reserve adequacy. Gross reserves stood at $13.4 billion as of April 7, equivalent to about 5.7 months of import cover well above the statutory minimum of four months and the East African convergence threshold of 4.5 months.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator argues that the buffer, alongside diversified foreign exchange inflows, has helped stabilize the currency even amid global uncertainty. The shilling has remained relatively steady in recent weeks, supported by improved market confidence and central bank interventions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CBK has flagged rising external pressures on the economy, linking the recent dip in reserves to slowing remittance inflows and heightened geopolitical risks, even as it maintained that buffers remain adequate to shield the shilling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14438,"featured_media":107425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,687],"tags":[1438,27387,7886,934,7970,27389,27388],"coauthors":[9476],"class_list":["post-114254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kenya","category-top-stories","tag-cbk","tag-debt-payments","tag-decline","tag-featured","tag-flags","tag-forex-reserve","tag-slower-inflows"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CBK flags debt payments, slower inflows in forex reserve decline - Capital Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The CBK has flagged rising external pressures on the economy, linking the recent dip in reserves to slowing remittance inflows and heightened geopolitical risks, even as it maintained that buffers remain adequate to shield the shilling.
