Kenya undertook the fifth largest bond buyback programme among the world’s low- and-middle-income economies in 2025, highlighting the depth of the government’s efforts to lengthen the maturity profile of its external debt.
Disclosures made by the World Bank show that in 2025, Kenya’s $1.21 billion (Sh157.3 billion) external bond buybacks ranked only behind Mexico’s $17.62 billion (Sh2.29 trillion), Colombia at $6.61 billion (Sh859 billion), Argentina’s $2.81 billion (Sh365 billion) and the Dominican Republic’ $1.82 billion (Sh236.5 billion).
