Analysts see the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) lowering base interest rates by at least 25 basis points before the end of the year on subdued inflation prices and the need to spur softening economic activity.

The CBK’s top-decision making organ, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), has cut the key lending rate by a percentage point since August, but most commercial banks are yet to reflect this in the pricing of loans.
