Kenya will be relieved from paying millions of shillings in surcharges to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), following a policy review by the multilateral lender to help countries cope with the impact of higher interest rates globally, that have pushed up borrowing costs.

Surcharges are additional fees levied by the IMF on loans to countries with outstanding credit to the IMF.
