Chart

Side by side

Two axes: solid line on the left axis, dashed line on the right.

  • Kenya consumer price index · left axis, index, February 2019 = 100
  • Kenya banks: average lending rate · right axis, % a year

Kenya consumer price index against Kenya banks: average lending rate, each from its own stored history. They are in different units (index, February 2019 = 100; % a year), so each has its own axis: Consumer prices (CPI) on the left, Bank lending rate on the right.
