The Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) recently released its Annual Sacco Supervision Report for 2024 in March 2026. The report revealed that the total assets of regulated deposit-taking SACCOs (DT-SACCOs) and non-withdrawable deposit-taking SACCOs (NWDT-SACCOs) combined reached KSh 1.076 trillion. This marked a significant increase from KSh 971.76 billion in 2023, reflecting the continued growth and resilience of Kenya’s SACCO sub-sector. The report highlights that net loans formed the backbone of SACCO assets, accounting for 73.36% of the total, equivalent to KSh 789.42 billion. This proportion has been progressively increasing from 70.95% in 2021, indicating an overall increase in lending and intermediation by regulated SACCOs.

The continued growth of Kenya’s largest SACCOs demonstrates the strength and stability of the cooperative movement in mobilising savings and providing affordable credit to millions of Kenyans.
