Speaking during a high-level economic forum, Kindiki emphasized that the government is keen on maintaining low and stable inflation, manageable interest rates, and a predictable policy environment to foster investor confidence.
His remarks come at a time when global economic uncertainties, including rising debt levels and currency fluctuations, continue to pose challenges to developing economies.
Kindiki noted that Kenya has made significant strides in stabilizing key economic indicators over the past year. He pointed out that inflation has remained within the government’s target range, largely due to prudent fiscal and monetary policies.
This, he said, has helped shield ordinary Kenyans from the worst effects of global price shocks while supporting business growth.
“Kenya’s macroeconomic fundamentals are strong and resilient,” Kindiki stated. “We are committed to sustaining this stability by ensuring that inflation remains under control, interest rates are favorable, and our economic policies remain consistent and predictable.”
