About Kenyan Shilling (KSh)
The Kenyan Shilling (KES, ISO 4217 code 404, symbol KSh; also written /=) is the official currency of the Republic of Kenya, issued by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK, est. 1966). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in use). Banknotes: KSh50, KSh100, KSh200, KSh500, KSh1,000 (current 'Kenya Generations' series introduced 2019 features Kenya's history, biodiversity, and infrastructure — replacing the previous series that featured presidential portraits, in response to a 2010 constitutional provision prohibiting portrayals of individuals on legal tender); coins: KSh1, KSh5, KSh10, KSh20, KSh40 (commemorative). Kenya is East Africa's largest economy (~$110B GDP in 2024). Kenya is also a global pioneer in mobile-money — M-Pesa (launched 2007 by Safaricom + Vodafone) has ~80% of Kenyan adults registered, processing ~$314B in transactions in fiscal year 2022 per CBK — making Kenya effectively a 'cashless' society for most retail transactions in the urban areas. CBK targets 5% CPI inflation ± 2.5% band. Major exports include tea (the world's #2 producer), cut flowers (~38% of EU cut-flower imports), coffee, and horticulture.

The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$120B in 2024) and one of Latin America's fastest-growing — averaging 5-6% GDP growth annually pre-COVID with strong post-pandemic recovery. Major economic sectors include tourism (the Caribbean's #1 tourist destination, ~10 million visitors annually — Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo Colonial Zone UNESCO site), remittances (~10% of GDP from US diaspora — ~2 million Dominicans in the US), free-trade zone manufacturing (textiles, medical devices, electronics), mining (gold from Pueblo Viejo, Barrick Gold's largest single asset). BCRD targets 4% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point.
