The National Treasury And Economic Planning
Abstract: The 2025 Budget Policy Statement outlines Kenya’s strategy to consolidate progress under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) for inclusive green growth. Key priorities include reducing the cost of living, enhancing food and job security, and expanding the tax base. The statement emphasizes a value chain approach in agriculture, manufacturing, and services, while advancing climate-smart investments and digitization. Fiscal consolidation, debt sustainability, and public expenditure reforms are central. Despite global headwinds, Kenya projects a rebound in economic growth to 5.3% in 2025. The policy also underscores accountability, transparency, and efficient public resource management to foster equitable, sustainable development.
