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.
