dc.description.abstract | Commercial paper in Kenya is recent compared with major and developed economies like the USA and European countries. The principal advantage of commercial paper as a source of short-term financing is that it is generally cheaper than a short-term business loan from a commercial bank. Studies have concluded that firms that substituted short-term bank loan with a commercial paper experienced significant interest savings up to 5.85% on average.
