As of November 2025, Kenya's Consumer Price Index (CPI) made a modest retreat to 4.50%, a slight decline from the previous month's figure of 4.60%, according to the latest data updated on November 28, 2025. This marginal movement indicates a subtle easing in inflationary pressures in the East African nation, as the economic landscape remains tightly monitored.
The CPI, which measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services, plays a crucial role in understanding the inflation dynamics within the country. The November figure represents a year-over-year comparison, which illustrates the temperance in price increases when evaluated against the same month in the previous year.
This reduction, albeit slight, could signal effective measures by the government and economic stakeholders aimed at stabilizing consumer prices amid global economic uncertainties. Close monitoring and continued strategies may be necessary to maintain this downward trend, ensuring price stability and enhancing the purchasing power of Kenyan citizens.
