Kenya's financial Intermediary Services Indirectly Measured (FISIM) (constant LCU) was 325.97 billion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 25.34% from 260.08 billion in 2015 (2.28% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2025, Kenya's financial Intermediary Services Indirectly Measured (FISIM) (constant LCU) rose 0.2% on 2024 (from 325.32 billion to 325.97 billion).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2007 to 2024), the average change was +6.4% and a typical year strayed about 5.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 15.9% in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 6% in 2017. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 8.53 billion a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 342.46 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 6.66 billion, against 27.25 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

How it compares
In 2025, Kenya had the 2nd highest value of the 19 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures
Financial intermediation services which are implicitly charged in the form of either the difference between a reference rate and the interest rate actually paid to depositors, or the difference between the interest rate charged to borrowers and a reference rate. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
