Kenya's foreign exchange reserves saw a significant drop of Sh43.9 billion in the week ending April 9, impacted by global economic pressures.

• Foreign exchange reserves declined by $340 million to $13.316 billion, offering 5.7 months of import cover.
• The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) reported the decrease, attributing it to rising global energy prices and supply chain issues.
• Despite the fall, reserves remain above the statutory minimum of four months of import cover, indicating a buffer against external shocks.
