Kenyans living and working abroad sent home Sh189.4 billion ($1.75 billion) in the six months of the year, defying the persisting Covid-19 economic disruptions in the source markets.
Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data shows the inflows increased by a fifth from Sh158.2 billion ($1.46 billion) received in a similar period to mark the fastest half-year jump since June 2018.
