JPY: The yen has floated freely since February 1973, its exchange rate determined by market supply and demand. Japan's Minister of Finance is legally authorized to conduct foreign exchange intervention to stabilize the rate, which the Bank of Japan executes as the ministry's agent. KES: Kenya has operated a floating exchange rate regime since 1993, replacing a crawling peg introduced in 1983 and a fixed rate that ran from 1966 to 1982. The Central Bank of Kenya states that it does not set the exchange rate — it is market-determined by supply and demand among licensed commercial banks and forex bureaus — though the Bank may intervene to stabilise the market during episodes of excess volatility.
