The International Monetary Fund will expand its financing to Kenya by $938 million to bolster the East African nation’s reserves before a Eurobond repayment due in June.

The funding, which still requires IMF board approval, would result in the Washington-based lender granting Kenya immediate access to around $682 million, the fund said in a statement Thursday.
