Kenya's central bank to hold its rate-setting meeting on July 28

NAIROBI (Reuters) - The Kenyan central bank's Monetary Policy Committee will hold its next rate-setting meeting on July 28, the bank said on its website on Thursday.

At its last meeting in May, the bank held its benchmark lending rate at 7.0%, the eighth consecutive "hold" decision, saying a package of measures unveiled since last year had cushioned the economy against the pandemic.
