Money Market: Liquidity in the money market remained tight as CBK remained under pressure to control the exchange rate volatility. The interbank rate remained high at 10.28% on Thursday. The Kenyan Shilling (KES) shed 0.12% against the US Dollar (USD) to 94.68 amid another round of mop ups through the issue of Repurchase Agreements and Term Auction Deposits amounting to KES 8 Bn.
