Foreign reserve holdings at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have fallen by $154 million (Sh16 billion) this month, with analysts saying it indicates the banking industry regulator has been stepping in to prevent exchange rate volatility.

The regular interest payments on Kenya’s Eurobond debt also fall due every June and December, with the payments coming out of the official reserves.
