Banks Urges CBK to Hold 9% Rate Amid Loan Pricing Risks
The Kenya Bankers Association has urged the Central Bank to keep the policy rate at 9.00% on Tuesday, even after nine consecutive rate cuts since 2023, the longest easing streak on record. It says previous reductions have not fully transmitted to lending rates as banks complete the shift to KESONIA/CBR-based pricing ahead of the March 1 deadline. KBA notes that inflation slowed to 4.4% in January but faces upside risk from drought-driven food prices, even as Q3 2025 growth held at 4.9% and private credit reached 6.3% in November. It adds that policy stability is supported by a steady shilling and usable FX reserves of USD 12.33 billion, equal to 5.3 months of import cover.Uganda Kickstarts Busy Monetary Policy Week Head for Africa's Central Banks
