The Gen Z protests across 25 Kenyan counties on June 25, 2025, significantly impacted businesses, causing economic losses due to missed opportunities and property damage.
The Kenya Private Sector Alliance estimated daily losses of Ksh.3 billion during such protests, contributing to a GDP growth decline from 5.7% to 4.7% the previous year.
Nairobi county government lost approximately Ksh.6 million in daily parking levies.
Fear from the protests reduced economic activity and raised prices for basic goods, while also deterring foreign investors due to negative international media coverage.
