In July 2025, Kenya's overall Consumer Price Index (CPI) reached 145.74, a slight increase from 145.58 in June 2025.
This metric, which tracks changes in prices for a basket of consumer goods and services, has seen a steady rise since July 2024, when it was 139.94.
The continuous upward trend indicates that the cost of living is increasing, eroding the purchasing power of consumers.
The CPI is a key indicator used by the government to guide economic decisions and is generally considered better for the economy when it's low.
A rising CPI often signals inflationary pressures.
