The National Treasury has defended Kenya’s economic performance, debt management strategy and public finance accountability systems, insisting that the economy remains resilient despite global uncertainties and domestic challenges.
In a response to the Senate, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said the country had continued to record positive growth across key sectors even as it grappled with external shocks, including conflict in the Middle East and drought-related risks experienced in late 2025.
“Against this global backdrop, the Kenyan economy continues to demonstrate resilience despite facing elevated external risks,” said Mbadi.
