The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) expects inflation to peak lower than previously projected, amid anticipation that the US-Israel war against Iran will be resolved soon.
The CBK projects inflation will peak at 6.8 percent in January 2027 before easing in subsequent months, compared with its June projection of 7.2 per cent in February 2027.
