The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is widely expected to hold interest rates at its monetary policy committee meeting on Wednesday on reduced inflationary and foreign exchange rate pressures.

On February 6, the CBK raised the benchmark Central Bank Rate (CBR) to 13 percent from 12.5 percent, a successive increase aimed at setting inflation on a firm downward path and easing pressure on the exchange rate.
