Kenya has cancelled the issuance of a Sh115 billion ($1 billion) Eurobond and will instead borrow from a syndicate of banks after the Treasury received bids priced at 12 percent.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani said Eurobonds had become expensive in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine forcing Kenya to reconsider issuing a bond.
