Kenya will have to wait until early next year for a decision on a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout. Critical negotiations have stalled due to concerns over currency manipulation and the classification of billions in securitized loans.

• The decision follows a recent meeting between President William Ruto and Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva of the IMF.
• The new timeline was announced by CBK Governor Dr. Kamau Thugge.
• Talks are held up by issues including concerns about currency manipulation and the categorization of billions in securitized loans.
