Why fuel prices change in Kenya
Fuel prices in Kenya move with global Brent and WTI benchmarks, but local policy determines how quickly global changes pass through to pump rates.
Kenya's regulated monthly formula links local pump rates to landed cost and FX movement. Because fuel is part of transport and logistics cost, retail inflation often follows large petrol or diesel moves.
Current model: Monthly capped formula. Authority: EPRA. This is why neighboring countries can post very different prices even on the same day.
