    "Any transaction or transactions will be subject to market conditions," it said in a statement on its website late on Sunday, 12 November.

    Kenya is being watched closely on how it handles the repayment of a $2bn Eurobond that falls due in June 2024 because of the country's growing debt repayments, weakening currency and a surge in yields that has effectively locked out many frontier economies from markets.

    On Thursday, 9 November, President William Ruto said Kenya will pay back in December $300m of this bond, while his chief economic adviser said on Tuesday the bond's refinancing was fully funded.
