How Kenya's national government funds its capital account, for the seven fiscal years to 2024/25. 49 observations: seven rows across seven years, covering external and domestic borrowing, external grants and the disposal of non-financial assets.

The borrowing mix swings hard from year to year. Domestic borrowing was 48.7 per cent of the total in 2018/19, rose to 80.8 per cent in 2021/22, fell to 45.6 the very next year, and stands at 69.4 in 2024/25. That is a 35 point move between two adjacent years, and neither series in shillings shows it: both mostly go up.

Net short-term domestic borrowing is negative in three of the seven years, meaning the government repaid more short-term paper than it issued, and it swung from a KSh 117.4 billion repayment in 2021/22 to KSh 258.2 billion of new issuance in 2024/25. Disposals of non-financial assets are negative throughout, because a disposal is a receipt entered against the spending it offsets.

The source prints no grand total here and none is added. External grants and disposals are not borrowing, and adding the four figures would publish a number KNBS never printed. The two block_total rows are the totals it does print, one per borrowing type, named in parent.

The same disposals row appears in ke.knbs.capital-expenditure.annual, which is the other half of this account, and the two are checked against each other on every run.

Fiscal years run 1 July to 30 June. 2024/25 is provisional and 2023/24 revised in the source.
