Kenya\u2019s annual inflation rate rose to 6.7 percent in May from 5.6 percent in April, driven mainly by higher food, transport and energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>The increase has largely been attributed to disruptions in global oil supply chains following the Middle East conflict and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global petroleum shipments.<\/p>\n<p>The impact has been felt locally through rising fuel prices. In April, the price of a litre of petrol increased from Sh178.28 to Sh206.97, before climbing further to Sh214.25 in the latest fuel review.<\/p>\n<p>Higher fuel costs have raised transportation, production and distribution expenses, contributing to broader inflationary pressures and increasing the cost of doing business across the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Economists have warned that sustained high energy prices could slow consumer spending, reduce business profitability and weigh on overall economic growth if global supply disruptions persist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenting the 2026\/27 Budget in Parliament, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said higher energy prices triggered by the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States are expected to weigh on economic activity, particularly in fuel-dependent sectors such as transport, manufacturing and logistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14381,"featured_media":116025,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,687],"tags":[7111,744,934,7989,7983,277],"coauthors":[6664],"class_list":["post-116024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kenya","category-top-stories","tag-cuts","tag-economic","tag-featured","tag-forecast","tag-govt","tag-growth"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Govt cuts 2026 economic growth forecast to 5pc - Capital Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Presenting the 2026\/27 Budget in Parliament, Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said higher energy prices triggered by the conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States are expected to weigh on economic activity, particularly in fuel-dependent sectors such as transport, manufacturing and logistics.
