📈 Kenya’s Inflation Rises to 4.1% in April 2025 Amid Food Price Surge

Posted on May 29, 2025May 29, 2025 By June Wambui No Comments on 📈 Kenya’s Inflation Rises to 4.1% in April 2025 Amid Food Price Surge

Kenya’s annual inflation rate climbed to 4.1% in April 2025, up from 3.6% in March, marking the highest level in eight months. This uptick is primarily attributed to rising food prices, particularly staples like corn, potatoes, and green vegetables. Kenya National Bureau of Statistics+3Bloomberg+3FXEmpire+3

Despite this increase, inflation remains within the Central Bank of Kenya’s target range of 2.5% to 7.5%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.3% in April, slightly easing from a 0.4% increase in March. FXEmpire+2Reuters+2Reuters+2FXEmpire

In response to these economic indicators, the Central Bank has cut its policy interest rate for the fifth consecutive meeting, bringing it down to 10%. This move aims to stimulate private sector lending and bolster economic activity. FXEmpire+1Reuters+1

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) reports that the annual inflation was mainly due to an increase in prices of commodities under the food and non-alcoholic beverages category. Kenya National Bureau of Statistics+1Kenya National Bureau of Statistics+1

Looking ahead, the World Bank has adjusted Kenya’s growth forecast for 2025 to 4.5%, down from an earlier projection of 5%. This revision reflects concerns over high public debt, elevated lending rates, and a decline in private sector credit. Reuters

While the inflation rate’s rise poses challenges, the government’s monetary policies and efforts to stabilize food prices are crucial in maintaining economic stability. Continued monitoring and responsive strategies will be essential in navigating the economic landscape in the coming months.
