About Kenyan Shilling
The Kenyan Shilling (KES) has been the official currency of Kenya since 1966, replacing the East African shilling used during the colonial period. The Central Bank of Kenya manages monetary policy. Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and a regional hub for finance, telecommunications, and logistics. Major export earners include tea (Kenya is the world's largest exporter of black tea), coffee, flowers, horticulture, and tourism. The Kenyan shilling is divided into 100 cents.
About Sri Lankan Rupee
The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) has been the official currency of Sri Lanka since 1872, with the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) managing monetary policy since 1950. Sri Lanka experienced a severe economic crisis in 2022, running out of foreign exchange reserves, causing widespread fuel, medicine, and food shortages that led to political upheaval and the resignation of the president. An IMF bailout agreement in 2023 helped stabilise the situation. Sri Lanka's economy is based on tourism, garment exports, tea (a world-leading exporter), and remittances.
