Next week African currencies will experience mixed movements, with Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana largely stable, Zambia's kwacha expected to decline due to political uncertainty, and Uganda's shilling likely to strengthen on government bond inflows.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to watch Zambia's currency vulnerability ahead of the election and explore hedging or local partnerships there, while Uganda's bond auction opens a dollar inflow window you can tap into immediately.
