Hesabu za fedha za nje za Kenya zimeshuka kwa Ksh 47.5 bilioni hadi dola za Marekani 13.656 bilioni, zikitoa miezi 5.8 ya kugharamia bidhaa, kulingana na Tangazo la Benki Kuu ya Kenya. Kushuka huku kunatokea wakati vita vya Iran vinavuruga mauzo ya chai na nyama, na mgogoro wa mafuta unakaribia. Maafisa wanasema hesabu bado zinakidhi mahitaji ya kisheria.

Benki Kuu ya Kenya ilitangaza katika taarifa yake ya kila wiki ya Aprili 2 kwamba hesabu za fedha za nje zilisimama dola za Marekani 13,655.70 milioni kufikia Aprili 1, zikishuka kutoka dola 14.02 bilioni wiki iliyopita.

Vita vya Iran vilivyoanza Februari 28 vimesababisha mauzo ya chai na nyama kwenda Mashariki ya Kati kushindwa, na mizigo ikikwama Bandari ya Mombasa. Wakulima wa chai wanapoteza takriban Ksh 1 bilioni kila wiki kutokana na hii.

Kenya inasubiri mauzo ya mafuta kutoka Mashariki ya Kati, na serikali inasisitiza kuna siku 16 za kugharamia mafuta. Meli ya mafuta inatarajiwa wiki ijayo, lakini vituo vingi vya petroli vinahifadhi mafuta kutokana na wasiwasi.

Hesabu hizi zinabaki juu ya kiwango cha chini cha kisheria cha miezi 4 ya kugharamia bidhaa. Zinatumika kulipa madeni ya kimataifa na kuzuia kushuka kwa haraka kwa shilingi ya Kenya.
