economics
Status: open
Kenya's public debt has been rising steadily, driven by infrastructure investments and budget deficits. As of late 2024, the debt stood at approximately KES 11 trillion. This market asks whether total public debt (domestic plus external) will surpass the KES 20 trillion threshold by December 31, 2026, reflecting concerns about fiscal sustainability and debt management.
This market resolves to 'Yes' if Kenya's total public debt (sum of domestic and external debt) exceeds KES 20 trillion as of December 31, 2026, according to official figures published by the National Treasury or Central Bank of Kenya. 'No' wins if the debt is KES 20 trillion or below on that date. The most recent official government data available by January 31, 2027 will be used for resolution.
- Yes — 0%
- No — 100%
