Kenya's private sector faced additional challenges at the end of the first half of 2025, as the latest survey data highlighted contractions in both output and new orders for the second month running.
Nevertheless, confidence about future activity strengthened and headcounts increased, while delivery times improved at the sharpest rate in almost two years.
Further, input prices and output charges both rose, with inflation rates ticking up from May.
From the press statement, the Kenya PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) fell further in June, registering below the 50.0 neutral mark for the second month running.
