肯尼亚中央银行行长于周五表示，肯尼亚正与多家多边开发银行进行讨论，以争取获得预计将在当前财年落实的新融资。
Kenya is in discussions with several multilateral development banks to secure new financing that is expected to materialise in the current financial year, its central bank governor said on Friday.
行长卡毛·图格（Kamau Thugge）表示，政府正就潜在的预算支持与非洲开发银行和世界银行进行会谈，其中包括世界银行的发展政策业务（DPO）。
Governor Kamau Thugge said the government was in talks with the African Development Bank and the World Bank over potential budget support, including a World Bank Development Policy Operation (DPO).
图格在曼谷国际货币基金组织和世界银行年会期间接受采访时表示：“他们正在寻找各种融资……他们正试图获取相当数量的来源。”
"They are looking at all kinds of financing... there's quite a number of sources that they are trying to access," Thugge said in an interview on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Bangkok.
“从现在到明年6月，正是预计将获得这笔外部融资的时间。”图格说，债务换粮食互换是这个东非国家正在考虑的选项之一，但他没有透露更多细节，因为他并未直接参与这些讨论。
"Between now and June of next year is when that external financing will be expected." A debt-for-food swap is among the options being considered by the East African nation, Thugge said, without giving further details as he was not directly involved in the discussions.
路透社上个月报道称，肯尼亚预计将从世界银行获得约4亿美元的紧急融资，以帮助应对该地区埃博拉疫情爆发以及厄尔尼诺相关破坏等风险。
Reuters reported last month that Kenya is expected to receive about $400 million in emergency financing from the World Bank to help address risks including an Ebola outbreak in the region and El Niño-related disruptions.
图格告诉路透社，国际货币基金组织的一个团队预计将于12月访问内罗毕，进行例行的第四条款磋商任务，并补充说与该基金组织的新计划将是讨论的内容之一。
An IMF team is expected to visit Nairobi in December for a regular Article IV consultation mission, Thugge told Reuters, adding that a new programme with the Fund would be part of the discussions. "The IMF funding is not in any of our planning.
图格说：“国际货币基金组织的资金不在我们的任何规划之中。但显然，如果这笔资金能够到位，它会在几个方面发挥作用。”
But obviously, were it to come in, it would help in several ways," said Thugge. "It's cheaper than the alternative financing, especially domestic financing.
“它比替代融资，尤其是国内融资更便宜。它是优惠贷款……其次，它还减少了政府对国内借款的依赖，也许这也能够帮助银行向私营部门发放更多贷款。”
It's concessional... and two, it also reduces the government's recourse to domestic borrowing, and maybe that can also help banks lend to the private sector a bit more."
图格表示，在决定下一步的利率行动之前，仍有“充足的时间”来监测消费者价格压力的发展、持续的中东战争以及天气状况。
Thugge said there was still "enough time" to monitor developments in consumer price pressures, the ongoing Middle East war and weather conditions before deciding on its next rate move.
央行上周将基准贷款利率（KECBIR=ECI）维持在8.75%不变，连续第四次会议维持该利率，并表示预计通胀在短期内将保持在目标区间内。
The central bank last week maintained its benchmark lending rate (KECBIR=ECI) at 8.75% for the fourth policy meeting in a row, saying it saw inflation staying within its target range in the short term.
但该国能源监管机构本周早些时候上调了汽油和柴油的最高零售价，并将其归因于中东冲突导致进口成本上升。
But the country's energy regulator raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel earlier this week, citing higher import costs linked to the Middle East conflict.
萨吉（Thugge）表示，发达市场债券收益率的上升也可能通过给本币带来压力，间接加剧通胀压力。萨吉说：“风险无疑是倾向于（上行）的。”
Thugge said rising bond yields across developed markets could also contribute to inflationary pressures indirectly, by weighing on the domestic currency. "Definitely risks are tilted (to the upside)," said Thugge.
他表示：“即使燃料（价格）有所上涨，食品价格实际上也一直呈下降趋势，因此人们仍需拭目以待食品价格的走势，以及食品价格的下降能否抵消燃料通胀可能带来的任何上涨。”他预计肯尼亚经济今年将增长5%，明年将增长5.3%；而国际货币基金组织（IMF）的预测分别为4.5%和4.7%。他将此归因于农业、工业和服务业的有利因素。“我们的预测可能比国际货币基金组织的预测更接近事实。”
"Even if there is an increase in the fuel (prices), the food prices have actually been trending downward, so one will still need to wait and see what happens to the food prices, and does the decline in food prices offset whatever increase there might be on fuel inflation." He expected Kenya's economy to grow 5% this year and 5.3% next year, compared with IMF forecasts of 4.5% and 4.7%, respectively, citing tailwinds in agriculture, industry and services. "It's likely our projection is closer to the truth than the IMF one."
