Consumers are staring at elevated prices in the coming months after factory costs rose to levels last seen in March last year, bucking a sustained falling trend observed for four consecutive quarters starting in June 2024.
New data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that the Producer Price Index (PPI) – which tracks the movement of production costs – stood at 138.16 at the close of June 2025, up from 137.95 at a corresponding time last year.
