[Kenyan Wall Street @kenyanwalstreet]

Kenya’s inflation rose to 7.3% in October 2026 from 6.8% in September and 4.6% a year earlier, its highest since June 2023 and 0.2 points below the Central Bank of Kenya’s 7.5% ceiling, driven by fuel prices after the Iran war pushed Brent crude above $110.

Core inflation has more than doubled from 2.0% in December to 4.3%, though most of the spread sits in food and transport costs close to fuel, while services such as restaurants, education and health remain calm.

The CBK has held its rate at 8.75% since February, so the gap between the rate and inflation has narrowed to 1.45 points, and the analysis says signs of core inflation nearing 5% or rising rents and school fees would justify tightening.
