The World Bank has issued fresh conditions on narrowing of Kenya’s budget deficit before unlocking a frozen Sh96.9 billion ($750 million) loan, setting the stage for possible tax increases and austerity measures.

The Treasury says Kenya has yet to agree on additional measures to reduce the budget deficit, delaying the disbursement of the loan that was expected before the end of June 2025.
