Kenya’s public debt rose by KSh 1.04 trillion between January and August 2025, reaching KSh 11.97 trillion, or 67.4% of GDP, Treasury CS John Mbadi reported. Domestic debt accounted for KSh 6.57 trillion, while external debt stood at KSh 5.40 trillion. The government raised USD 1.5 billion through its latest Eurobond, using part to repay an earlier bond. Mbadi said debt-management measures aim to reduce repayment pressure and safeguard fiscal stability.
