Editor’s Note – Participating Banks and SACCOs borrowed an additional Kes 7.7 Billion from the KMRC in 2025, raising total lending to Kes 19.6 Billion as institutions tapped the low interest rate to expand affordable mortgage financing in Kenya. The refinancing has so far supported more than 5000 mortgages and boosted access for middle and low income earners and helped grow KMRC’s share of Kenya’s mortgage market, with nearly half of the financed loans going to women and an increasing role played by SACCOs in the affordable housing finance sector.
