Kenya has unveiled a 4.8 trillion shillings (about 37 billion U.S. dollars) national budget for the 2026/2027 fiscal year to sustain growth despite global uncertainties. Kenya's National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi presented the budget statement on Thursday before the National Assembly in Nairobi, noting the economy remains resilient with an average growth rate of 5 percent between 2022 and 2025, outperforming global averages, though the 2026 outlook was downgraded to 5 percent from 5.3 percent due to the Middle East conflict.
