Kenya lost $100 million due to a false Moody’s default rating on a bond buyback, sparking market chaos and weakening the shilling.
Kenya lost at least Sh15 billion in 2023 due to a misleading Moody’s Ratings assessment labeling a planned bond buyback as a "default," triggering a market panic that raised yields by 190 basis points and weakened the shilling.
The agency’s premature action, criticized by the African Peer Review Mechanism, disrupted Kenya’s debt strategy, with a subsequent 2024 downgrade worsening investor confidence.
The incident highlights growing concerns over the outsized influence of U.S.-dominated credit agencies on African economies.
