The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has lauded Kenya’s move to join the Pan-African Payments and Settlement System (Papps), terming it a step in the right direction in addressing foreign-exchange-related challenges in frontier markets.

Kenya joined Papps on September 29, after the Central Bank signed the instruments of accession.
