Kenya's shilling was little changed in early trading on Wednesday, with limited corporate demand for dollars matched by modest inflows of foreign exchange from tea exports and charities.

"Demand (for dollars) is subdued. There are no big buyers," said one trader at a commercial bank.
The shilling has barely moved out of the 102.00/50 range since mid November, after weakening 11 percent against the dollar during 2015.
