The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a key economic indicator that tracks changes in the prices of a basket of goods and services typically purchased by households.
It serves as a measure of the cost of living and is widely used to assess inflation or deflation in an economy.
According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) report released on June 30, 2025, the CPI trends from June 2024 to June 2025 provide insights into Kenya's economic conditions during this period.
Rising CPI values indicate inflationary pressures, which can erode purchasing power, while declining values may signal deflation. Policymakers, businesses, and consumers rely on CPI data to make informed decisions regarding investments, wages, and monetary policy.
Understanding these trends is crucial for addressing economic challenges and ensuring stability.
