On August 14, 2026, Kenya’s Ministry of Finance published its FY2026/27 Annual Borrowing Plan announcing a planned US$815 million Eurobond issuance in the second quarter of the 2026/27 financial year (FY2026/27).

A planned US$815m Eurobond would add commercial USD supply to Kenya’s external debt profile, concentrating medium‑to‑long external duration and refinancing needs on its USD curve. Market impact will depend on issue tenor, coupon and book composition; those details will determine secondary‑market spread moves, foreign investor allocation across EM sovereigns, and potential pressure on FX reserves if issuance conditions change.
