Kenya’s economy is expected to expand by 5.3 percent in 2026, backed by stronger domestic demand, improving liquidity conditions, and a more stable macroeconomic environment.

As Jimmy Mbogoh now reports, the lender further projects improvement in credit conditions in the country, on the back of targeted public spending which is expected to shift from debt servicing to project execution, a rebalancing that experts believe will support business confidence and household consumption.
