The government’s share of domestic debt held in Treasury bills has dropped to a new low of 13 percent, easing refinancing concerns in the short term for the exchequer amid high debt service obligations.

The outstanding stock of T-bills now stands at Sh627 billion, down from Sh671.5 billion at the beginning of the year, indicating the government has been retiring some maturing T-bills without seeking to roll over.
