Kenya's foreign exchange reserves rebounded to $15.25 billion on September 10, according to the Central Bank of Kenya, after a three-week decline. The reserves, which increased from $14.88 billion on September 3, now cover 6.3 months of imports, up from 6.1 months a week earlier. While this is still below the all-time high of $15.4 billion reached in late July, it remains above the statutory requirement of maintaining at least four months of import cover.
