In a significant milestone for Kenya's economic planning, Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) and Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) have officially launched the country's first comprehensive Core and Non-Core inflation report.
The launch follows months of collaboration between the two institutions, culminating in a technical workshop held in Naivasha back in June 2024.
The new measures, which provide deeper insights into price dynamics, are set to transform how inflation is analyzed and addressed.
Speaking during the launch, Principal Secretary (PS) for Economic Planning James Muhati said the report marked a significant milestone in the government's ongoing efforts to provide greater transparency, deeper insights and more effective responses to inflationary trends that affect the country's major businesses and households.
