Below is a comparison of the movements of the Kenya shilling against the major world currencies and the currencies of our neighbouring countries over the last trading sessions, Thursday 3rd May 2012 and Friday 4th May 2012:
| Currency | US Dollars | Sterling Pounds | Euro | SA Rand | KES/USHS | KES/TSHS | KES/RWF | |
| Date | 03/05/2012 | 83.4053 | 135.0438 | 109.6516 | 10.78 | 29.7944 | 19.0037 | 7.2779 |

The Kenya Shilling marginally strengthened against the US Dollar, Sterling Pound, the Euro, the SA Rand, the Ugandan Shilling and the Rwandan Franc. It however marginally weakened against the Tanzanian Shilling.
In today’s trading the Shilling is expected to strengthen marginally against the Euro as global markets respond to election results in Greece and France and the effect this change of guard will have on the entire EuroZone.
