Kenya's annual inflation rate stood at 4.6% in October 2025, the highest since June last year, unchanged from September. Still, inflation remained below the 5% midpoint of the central bank’s target range for a 17th straight month, partly due to weak domestic demand. Meanwhile, the core inflation, the central bank’s preferred gauge of underlying price pressures, slowed to 2.7%, compared with 2.9% in September. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.2% in October, the same pace as in the previous period.
