The Kenyan shilling remained relatively stable against major international and regional currencies, according to the latest daily exchange rates released by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) for April 24, 2026.

The shilling traded at Ksh129.32 against the US dollar, reflecting a marginal movement compared to previous sessions, signalling continued stability in the foreign exchange market.

Against the British pound, the shilling stood at Ksh174.14, while the euro exchanged at Ksh151.06, both showing slight fluctuations within a narrow trading range.

In Asian markets, the Japanese yen (100 units) was quoted at Ksh80.94, maintaining a relatively steady position.

Regionally, the Kenyan currency recorded minimal shifts. The Uganda shilling traded at Ksh28.72, the Tanzania shilling at Ksh20.12, and the Rwanda franc at Ksh11.30. Meanwhile, the South African rand exchanged at Ksh7.77.

The latest figures reflect a largely stable currency environment, with only minor day-to-day adjustments across key trading pairs. Market observers attribute this stability to balanced demand and supply of foreign currency, alongside ongoing monetary policy measures by the Central Bank.

The CBK continues to monitor the market closely to ensure price stability and maintain confidence in the local currency amid global economic pressures.
