The Kenya Consumer Price Index and Inflation Report July 2025

Abstract

Annual inflation rate as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 4.1 per cent in July 2025. This indicates that the general price level was 4.1 per cent higher in July 2025 than it was in July 2024. The increase in price was mainly driven by rise in prices of commodities in the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages Category (6.8%); Transport (4.1%) and Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and other fuels (1.3%) over the one year period. These three major categories together account for over 57 per cent of the total weight across the 13 major expenditure categories. Additionally, Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco and Narcotics recorded an inflation of 5.1 per cent in July 2025.
