Kenya's inflation rate remained stable at 4.6 percent in October, driven by declining prices of essential household goods like maize flour, sugar, and cooking gas.

• The average price of a two-kilogram packet of fortified maize flour dropped from Sh172.41 in September to Sh168.56 in October.
• The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) reduced its benchmark lending rate to 9.25 percent earlier in the month.
• While fuel prices were maintained by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), electricity costs for 50 kilowatts rose by 3.3 percent to Sh1,315.8.
