Diaspora remittances hit record Sh58.15 billion in March as inflows strengthen
On a broader scale, the latest monthly performance pushed the total diaspora inflows for the 12 months ending March 2026 to Sh655.9 billion (USD 5,079 million). This is an increase from Sh642.1 billion (USD 4,972 million) recorded in the same period a year earlier, reflecting a 2.2 per cent year-on-year rise and reinforcing the growing importance of remittances in Kenya’s external earnings.
