Consumer Price Indices and Inflation Rates-July 2017

In line with the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics commitment to release data
for the monthly Consumer Price Indices (CPI) and rates of inflation on the last
working day of the month, we hereby release the numbers for July, 2017. These
numbers are generated by surveying prices of a basket of goods and services.
The survey was undertaken as normal, during the second and third weeks of
the month under review. The prices are obtained from selected retail outlets
in 25 data collection zones spread across Nairobi and 13 other urban centers.
The CPI decreased by 0.96 per cent from 185.39 in
June 2017 to 183.60 in July 2017. The overall year on year inflation in July
2017 was 7.47 per cent.
