FX.co ★ Kenya’s Inflation Eases to 6.4% in June, Extending Downward Trend

Kenya’s annual consumer price inflation edged lower to 6.40% in June 2026, down from 6.70% in May 2026, according to data updated on 30 June 2026. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing price changes in June 2026 with those in June 2025.

The latest reading marks a continuation of the gradual easing in price pressures, as the previous month’s 6.70% reflected a year-over-year comparison of May 2026 against May 2025. While inflation remains elevated, the June slowdown suggests some relief in cost pressures for households and businesses, a development closely watched by investors and policymakers monitoring Kenya’s price dynamics and monetary policy outlook.
