Kenya’s credit market saw rising bad loans across most sectors between June 2024 and June 2025, according to Central Bank of Kenya data.
Trade and Real Estate recorded the highest defaults, with notable increases year-on-year.
Household, Transport, Building, and Agriculture sectors also showed upward trends in non-performing loans.
However, Manufacturing stood out as the only major sector with improved asset quality, registering a decline in bad loans.
This shift highlights resilience in industrial credit performance amid broader financial strain.
