The private sector in Kenya continued to struggle in June 2025, with business activity declining for the second month in a row, a report has revealed.

According to the latest Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) by Stanbic Bank Kenya, part of the reason business declined in June includes ongoing protests and an overall difficult economic environment.

The report further revealed that the headline index dropped to 48.6 in June from 49.6 in May.

This marked the sharpest drop in business conditions in nearly a year.
