The Treasury has set an ambitious target to cut borrowing for the budget beginning July 1 to a seven-year low of Sh703.9 billion.

In new budget documents, the exchequer expects total financing for the next budget to come down from Sh785 billion in the current financial year, setting the lowest level of deficit financing since the 2017/18 financial year.
