Kenya's annual inflation rate rose for the third straight month in January 2025, reaching a four-month high of 3.3%, up from 3% in December. Still, inflation remained below the 5% midpoint of the central bank’s target range for an eighth straight month. Prices of food (+6.1% vs +4.8% in December) and transport (+0.7% vs +0.1%) were the key factors behind the acceleration of inflation. Core inflation, reflecting underlying price pressures and published for the first time, was 2% in January, compared with 2.2% in December, while non-core inflation rose to 7.1%, from 5.2% in the prior month.
