The Treasury has increased the use of emergency loan facilities at the central bank to fund critical government expenditures, pointing to biting cash flow pressures.

Central Bank of Kenya says in its latest domestic debt report that the government’s outstanding overdraft hit Sh67.33 billion in the second week of November, the highest level since early June when the country cancelled a planned $1 billion Eurobond.
