Kenya eyes additional Sh65bn from Samurai bond
The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning John Mbadi addressing the media on the Financial Year 2026/27 budget and the economic measures to support Kenyans at the National Treasury, Nairobi on May 25, 2026.
Kenya is eyeing an additional Sh64.6 billion from a Japan-backed Samurai bond in the current financial year, as the government looks to broaden its sources of credit offered on terms more favourable than market rates.
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi says that after securing Sh22.1 billion from Japan in the just-ended fiscal year, the government is keen to further tap the East Asian market owing to the low interest rates on the loans.
