About Kenyan Shilling
Kenyan Shilling is the official currency of the Republic of Kenya, issued and regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya. Kenyan Shilling came into circulation in Kenya in 1966 when it was introduced first by replacing the East African Shilling at par.
KES is the official currency symbol of the Kenyan Shilling for executing foreign exchange related transactions in the international market. The Kenyan shilling is also used as an official currency of the neighbouring nation of Kenya including South Sudan and Somalia. Kenyan Shilling is also considered as one of the most stable currencies in the East African region.
