Inflation in Kenya rose to 6.7 per cent in May 2026, from 5.6 per cent in April 2025, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has announced.
According to KNBS Director General Macdonald Obudho the increase was driven by high prices of food, transport, housing and fuel, as per the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.
“Consumer Price Index (CPI) is defined as a measure of the weighted aggregate change over time in retail prices paid by consumers for a given basket of goods and services,” said KNBS.
