<\/div>

Moody’s credit rating agency has upgraded Kenya’s long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating from “Caa1” to “B3”, stating that the country’s short-term default risk has significantly reduced. This decision was announced in a statement released on January 27, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to Moody’s, the improvement in Kenya’s external liquidity is based on several factors, including increased foreign exchange reserves, reduced current account deficit, and stabilization of the Kenyan shilling.<\/p>\n

As the largest economy in East Africa, the country led by William Ruto experienced accelerated growth in the third quarter of 2025, supported by the recovery of the construction sector and a more dynamic agricultural activity than anticipated.<\/p>\n

The country’s international reserves are expected to reach $12.2 billion by the end of 2025, representing approximately 5.3 months of import cover, thereby strengthening the economy’s ability to absorb external shocks.<\/p>\n

However, Moody’s highlights that the rating is still constrained by a limited debt repayment capacity and a perceived slow budget consolidation. High domestic borrowing costs, combined with political and social pressures, hinder efforts to reduce the budget deficit and maintain vulnerability to changing financing conditions.<\/p>\n

Faced with high public debt and significant repayment obligations, Kenya is seeking to diversify its sources of financing to preserve budget margins for development expenses and infrastructure investments.<\/p>\n

In this context, the Kenyan government is negotiating a new program with the International Monetary Fund, as the previous one expired in April, while exploring less costly financing mechanisms, including a debt-for-food exchange project considered in the first half of the year.<\/p>\n

Finally, Moody’s has revised the outlook associated with Kenya’s rating from “positive” to “stable”, reflecting the expectation of continued recent improvements in liquidity and financing, with overall balanced risks.<\/p>\n
