Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning Iran, are jeopardizing hopes for continued interest rate cuts in Kenya, potentially leading to more expensive loans despite recent efforts by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). Iran has threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, the world's busiest oil shipping lane, in response to potential US and Israeli strikes, raising global oil prices. The Kenyan Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has assured the public of adequate fuel supply despite heightened tensions in the Middle East, a primary source of the nation's fuel imports. The United States has ordered the immediate evacuation of its citizens from 14 countries in the Middle East due to escalating safety risks, prompting concern for Kenyan nationals in the area. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, has appealed for utmost restraint in the escalating conflict, warning of severe nuclear risks.
