Kenya’s diaspora remittances from Australia jumped by nearly half in the first six months of 2025, cementing the Oceania country’s position as the fastest-rising source of the flows into Nairobi, even as key traditional high-growth corridors such as Saudi Arabia and Germany recorded declines.
Fresh data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows that Kenyans in Australia sent home $112.83 million (Sh14.58 billion) in the first half of 2025, a 48 percent jump from $76.3 million (Sh9.86 billion) in the same period last year.
