The Kenya Consumer Price Index and Inflation Report April 2024

Abstract

The annual consumer price inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 4.1 per cent in April 2025. This implies that the general price level in April 2025 was 4.1 per cent higher than it was in April 2024. The price increase was primarily driven by rise in price of items in the Divisions of Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages (7.1%); Transport (2.3%) and Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and other fuels (0.8%) over the one year period. These three divisions together account for over 57 per cent of the total weight across the 13 major expenditure categories.
