Bank of Africa (BOA) Kenya tapped $10 million (Sh1.3 billion) loan in the financial year ended December for on-lending in foreign currency amid a widespread dollar shortage that was being reported in the market.

The bank says in its latest annual report that its parent firm, BMCE Bank of Africa, which owns a 72.41 percent stake, lent it the money with a repayment period of three years.
