Kenyan Shilling to Euro exchange rate history
What moves the Kenyan Shilling rate
The Kenyan shilling is shaped by the CBK's inflation-targeting policy. Diaspora remittances (the country's top FX earner), tourism and tea receipts and Eurobond flows move it. It is a relatively managed currency, less volatile than the rand.
About the Kenyan Shilling
The Kenyan Shilling (KES, KSh) is the official currency of Kenya, issued by the Central Bank of Kenya. Subdivided into 100 cents, the Shilling is one of East Africa's most-traded currencies and the de facto settlement unit for many cross-border flows in the EAC region. Kenya's outsized digital-payments ecosystem — anchored by Safaricom's M-Pesa, which clears a transaction volume equivalent to a substantial share of Kenyan GDP each year — means the KES is among the most active African currencies for mobile-money rails. The Central Bank of Kenya runs a managed-float regime with periodic interventions to smooth volatility, and the Shilling has generally tracked broader sub-Saharan currency trends against the USD. For inbound USD remittances to M-Pesa, formal-channel rates typically sit within 1%-2% of the interbank reference.
About the Euro
The Euro (EUR, €) is the official currency of 20 European Union member states and the anchor of one of the most consequential fixed-peg arrangements in African monetary history. The Euro is issued by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and is the second-largest reserve currency after the USD. Two African monetary unions — the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA / XOF) and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC / XAF) — peg their CFA francs to the EUR at the fixed rate of 655.957 CFA = 1 EUR. The peg has been in continuous operation since the 1999 introduction of the Euro, and replaced the prior French franc peg. For diaspora remitters in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany, the EUR is the dominant send currency for the WAEMU and CEMAC routes.
