The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has given banks 18 months to start compulsory disclosure of climate-related exposure resulting from the individuals, businesses and projects they finance.

The timeline comes after the regulator on Friday issued Kenya Green Finance Taxonomy (KGFT), which will serve as a guide on the minimum set of assets, projects and sectors that are eligible to be defined as "green" in line with international best practice and national priorities.
