The National Treasury’s 2025 Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) has shown that Kenya’s public debt remains sustainable but with high risk of distress.

This is in accordance with the Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS) 2026/27 – 2028/29 tabled in Parliament last week, which also indicated that the Present Value (PV) of public debt stood at 65.3 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the end of last year.
