Kenya's struggle with a heavy debt load and pressure on its hard currency reserves is not unique since other nations are facing the same situation, its finance minister said on Wednesday.

The upcoming Eurobond maturity "should not be a big deal", Ndung'u said, since Kenya can use its reserves at the central bank to pay off the debt.
