Kenya

Economic growth is gaining momentum, with GDP having expanded by 4.9% in Q1-2025 and 5.0% in Q2-2025, supported by easing monetary policy and a rebound in the construction sector. Fiscal pressures remain elevated, with the FY2024/25 deficit widening to 5.9% of GDP and public debt reaching 68.8% of GDP, keeping the country at high risk of debt distress. Kenya is East Africa's largest economy and the region's leading technology and innovation hub, home to a vibrant fintech ecosystem and a rapidly growing middle class.
