The Kenyan shilling is expected to appreciate against the dollar supported by inflows from offshore investors and banks cutting dollar positions amid dwindling importer demand, traders said.

At 0818 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 100.65/85 per dollar, unchanged from Thursday’s close.
