Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has censured Ecobank Kenya Limited for breaching foreign exchange exposure limits, barring the lender from the forex market from today until April 4.

CBK said that the tier-two lender failed to meet the rules that stipulate that a bank must match its foreign currency assets and liabilities and ensure that the difference between the two does not exceed 10 percent of core capital.
