PwC Kenya Pre-Budget Bulletin 2026
Navigating fiscal reality and growth ambition
We are pleased to share PwC Kenya’s inaugural Pre-Budget Bulletin, developed to provide timely insights as you prepare for the upcoming National Budget.
Titled “Kenya 2026 Budget Preview: Navigating fiscal reality and growth ambition”, this publication offers a forward-looking perspective on the key issues shaping the fiscal landscape - enabling more informed engagement ahead of the Budget reading.
Drawing on the 2026 Budget Policy Statement and recent economic developments, the bulletin explores the themes most likely to influence the Budget, including macroeconomic trends, fiscal strategy, financing approaches, and evolving tax policy directions.
This Pre-Budget Bulletin forms the first part of a two-stage analysis. Following the Budget announcement, we will share a post-budget edition, which will provide a detailed assessment of the Budget measures and their implications for the economy and for businesses.
We hope this approach supports more proactive engagement with the budget process and provides a clearer line of sight on emerging risks and opportunities. We would also value your feedback on this format and how useful you find these insights - please do get in touch to share your views.
