BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 10:37 AM EST

10:37 AM EST, 12/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Kenya's central bank (CBK) Tuesday said its Monetary Policy Committee decided to lower the Central Bank Rate by 25bps to 9.00% on lower inflation expectations.

Overall inflation in Kenya is expected to remain below the midpoint of the target range in the near term, supported by lower costs of processed food items, and stable energy prices and continued exchange rate, wrote the central bank in its policy statement.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
