The Kenyan government has launched the 2025 Medium-Term Debt Strategy (MTDS), outlining measures aimed at minimizing the cost and risks of public debt while ensuring sustainability over the next three years.
Speaking during the unveiling in Nairobi, the National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary (CS), John Mbadi, emphasized the need for prudent debt management amid economic uncertainties and shifting global financial dynamics.
According to the CS, the strategy, covering the period from 2025 to 2028, seeks to gradually reduce the stock of Treasury bills while lengthening the maturity of public debt instruments.
It also prioritizes deepening the domestic debt market and securing a balanced mix of concessional and commercial external financing.
