Interbank lending rejuvenated this week, defying last week\u2019s declining trend as traded volumes jumped 85.31% KES 21.85bn from KES 11.79bn. Deal numbers echoed the rise, increasing by 37.0%. On the flip side, the average interbank rate remained relatively stable, inching down marginally to 10.68% from 10.70% the week before. Key to note, the discount window was active following weeks of inactivity though only KES 200m was traded. The table below summarises the market liquidity indicators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
