Kenya is considering options, including a potential buyback of part of a USD 2 bln bond due next year. A buyback would allow Kenya to take advantage of low prices, leading to substantial savings. The move comes as the country faces USD shortages due to high energy and food import bills, leading to concerns about a potential debt restructuring. The government plans to narrow the budget deficit to 4.4% of GDP for the fiscal year starting in July, partly through increased tax revenue and easing the debt burden.
