The Kenya Consumer Price Index and Inflation Report January 2025

Abstract

The year on year headline inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 3.3 per cent in January 2025. This indicates that the general price level in January 2025 was 3.3 per cent higher than in January 2024. The price increase was primarily driven by rising prices in the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages category (6.1%); and Transport category (0.7%) over the same period. In contrast, prices in Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and other fuels declined by 1.6 per cent. These three divisions together account for over 57 per cent of the total weight across the 13 major expenditure categories.
