NAIROBI, July 19 (Reuters) – Kenya’s shilling was stable on Friday but faced pressure from interbank foreign currency demand amid thin supply, traders said.

At 0717 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 131.00/132.00 per dollar, the same as Thursday’s close.

“We haven’t received demands from oil marketers. It’s mostly from the interbank space,” said one trader at a commercial bank.
