flag Kenya raised $1.5 billion in bonds at lower rates to refinance debt and fund early buybacks, backed by strong investor demand.

flag Kenya raised $1.5 billion through new 7- and 12-year bonds with average interest rates of 8.7%, below earlier rates, to refinance debt and reduce future repayment pressures. flag Proceeds will fund the early buyback of $1 billion in bonds maturing in 2028 and $579 million from a 2027 bond. flag Strong investor demand, exceeding $7.5 billion in bids, reflects confidence in Kenya’s debt strategy. flag The move is part of a broader effort to extend maturities, ease fiscal strain, and support development projects amid a debt level near 70% of GDP.
