The Treasury has raised the domestic borrowing target for the current financial year by Sh50 billion, backpedalling on a previous cut effected in the first mini-budget released by the Kenya Kwanza administration.

The latest Estimates of Revenue, Grants and Loans for the financial year 2023/24 show the Treasury now targets Sh475.0 billion from the domestic market in the current financial year, up from the Sh425.1 billion prescribed in the Supplementary Budget I tabled earlier in the year.
